[jira] [Commented] (MPLUGIN-341) Make the plugin tool modular or at least module-ready

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-341?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16727213#comment-16727213 ] 

Gili commented on MPLUGIN-341:
------------------------------

What prevents you from releasing new (modularized) packages and having the old code redirect calls to it? Then you could drop this compatibility layer in some future release.

> When implementing custom maven modules, it is currently not possible to make those plugins modular on JDK 9+. The reason for this is that there are a lot of split packages among the various libraries, such as the org.apache.maven.plugin package between:
>  * org.apache.maven:maven-core:3.5.3
>  * org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:3.5.3
> This, and the fact that there are not Automatic-Module-Name entries in the manifests (see [http://branchandbound.net/blog/java/2017/12/automatic-module-name/),] means that no one can currently reasonably create modular maven plugins.
> It would be cool if these two things could be fixed in the next minor or major release
