my module-info.java

module hackstyle {
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires jnativehook;
    requires reflections;
    requires java.xml.bind;
    requires java.desktop;
    requires java.logging;

    opens hackstyle.scripts to java.xml.bind;
    exports hackstyle;
}

reflections and jnativehook are automatic modules
I added add-module-info and create-runtime-image goals trying to fix it
but I keep getting "Error: automatic module cannot be used with jlink: reflections from ... "
when I remove these dependencies from tag I get errors saying reflections is not a library...
Did I miss a step?

[aalmiray]

No, you have not missed a step. Automatic Modules do_not work with jlink, by design.

[Saar25]

Then what moditect is for?

[aalmiray]

ModiTect generates a full module descriptor for your project. It does not generate full module descriptors for dependencies. In this case it looks like reflections is an automatic module and not a full module. In order to build a fully modular project/library that can be used with jlink you need all your dependencies (and their transitives) to be fully modular.

This again is a restriction imposed by jlink itself. You can still run the application/project/library in the modulepath (with automatic modules) but cannot create jlink images.

[seanidzenga]

@aalmiray Is the add-module-info goal not for adding module descriptors to dependencies?

[aalmiray]

@seanidzenga Ah yes, I missed that one.
