Automatic module cannot be used with jlink since version > 1.3.30

[Dev-jero]

Greetings and thank you for your work.
I've got an error with the new version of OpenPDF.

Error: automatic module cannot be used with jlink: com.github.librepdf.openpdf from [...]/repository/com/github/librepdf/openpdf/2.0.2/openpdf-2.0.2.jar

It worked with version 1.3.30. Beyond that it's not working anymore.

Is it possible to fix it? Because it was very practical.
Regards.

Edit:
Okay, found a little fix but that's not great.

• By defining static in my module-info requires static com.github.librepdf.openpdf;;
• By adding <options>-classpath openpdf-2.0.2.jar --module-path openpdf-2.0.2.jar --add-modules com.github.librepdf.openpdf</options> for the javafx-maven-plugin in my pom (and of course the jar inside the correct directory)

This is a good question. In 1.3.30 there was some module-info.java files, but these aren't there anymore. These must have been removed by accident in some old PR.

@Dev-jero
It seems the module-info.java's were removed in 1.3.37. So until 1.3.36 you shouldn't have any problem.
But now we split OpenPDF in 3 different Versions:

• 1.3-line: compiled with Java 8
• 1.4-line: compiled with Java 11
• 2.0-line: compiled with Java 17

So the module-info makes no sense in 1.3 anymore, but probably in 1.4 and 2.0

How was you calling jlink before?
