[!IMPORTANT]  \n\u003e The job providing updates of artifacts uploaded to Maven Central is slacking since summer 2025.\n\u003e This comment will be removed once it starts to process correctly again.\n\n# sormuras/modules\n\nThe main goal of this project is to collect [Unique Java Modules](#unique-java-modules).\nAs a side product, it also assembles an overview of \"almost all\" Java modules published at Maven Central since August 2018.\n\n\u003e You're welcome to extend [The Watch](#watchlist), because _modules are coming_... and soon the rhyme goes \"Modules, Modules, every where!\"\n\n\n## Unique Java Modules\n\nHere's the daily updated 🦄 [modules.properties](com.github.sormuras.modules/com/github/sormuras/modules/modules.properties) file of unique modules.\n\nThis project considers a Java module to be **unique**:\n\n- if it is an explicit module with a compiled module descriptor,\n- and if its module name that starts with its Maven Group ID or a well-known alias.\n\nWell-known aliases are defined as:\n\n```java\nstatic String computeMavenGroupAlias(String group) {\n  return switch (group) {\n    case \"com.fasterxml.jackson.core\" -\u003e \"com.fasterxml.jackson\";\n    case \"com.github.almasb\" -\u003e \"com.almasb\";\n    case \"javax.json\" -\u003e \"java.json\";\n    case \"net.colesico.framework\" -\u003e \"colesico.framework\";\n    case \"org.jetbrains.kotlin\" -\u003e \"kotlin\";\n    case \"org.jfxtras\" -\u003e \"jfxtras\";\n    case \"org.openjfx\" -\u003e \"javafx\";\n    case \"org.ow2.asm\" -\u003e \"org.objectweb.asm\";\n    case \"org.projectlombok\" -\u003e \"lombok\";\n    case \"org.swimos\" -\u003e \"swim\";\n    default -\u003e group.replace(\"-\", \"\");\n  };\n}\n```\n\nFind module `com.github.sormuras.modules` also attached as an executable JAR and [ToolProvider](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/spi/ToolProvider.html) in the assets of [releases/tag/0-ea](https://github.com/sormuras/modules/releases/tag/0-ea).\nStable versions of it are published to [releases](https://github.com/sormuras/modules/releases); with [releases/latest](https://github.com/sormuras/modules/releases/latest) pointing to the latest stable release.\n\n\n## More Modules found at Maven Central\n\nThis [doc](doc) directory hosts lists of Maven `Group:Artifact` coordinates in text files.\nThey are taken as an input of the scan process.\nThe [scanner](.bach/build/build/Scanner.java) generates overview tables showing the state of modularization for each `Group:Artifact` coordinate.\nAll JAR files published to Maven Central that were analyzed and recorded by the [modulescanner](https://github.com/sandermak/modulescanner) are evaluated using their latest version.\nThat modulescanner was activated in mid of August 2018 - meaning earlier publications can not be evaluated here.\n\nYou'll find the following summary at the start of each overview.\n\n- 🧩 denotes a Java module that contains a compiled module descriptor.\n  It therefore provides a stable module name and an explicit modular API using `exports`, `provides`, `opens` and other directives.\n\n- ⬜ denotes an automatic Java module, with its stable module name derived from `Automatic-Module-Name` manifest entry.\n  Its API is derived from JAR content and therefore may **not** be stable.\n\n- ⚪ denotes an automatic Java module, with its **not** stable module name derived from the JAR filename.\n  Its API is derived from JAR content and therefore may **not** be stable.\n\n- ➖ denotes an unrelated artifact, like BOM, POM, and other non-JAR packaging types.\n  It also denotes old JAR files, as the scan process can only evaluate artifacts that were deployed after mid August 2018.\n\n``` 2024\n    2019 2020 2021 2022 2023\n🧩  143  163  165  170  171 // Java modules (module descriptor with stable name and API)\n⬜  205  262  278  310  312 //

be suspicious if its JAR file contains an illegal `Automatic-Module-Name` manifest entry.\nIllegal? An empty name, a name that contains `-` characters, a name starting numbers, a name that contains Java keywords, etc., is illegal.\nConsult chapter [Module Declarations](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se9/html/jls-7.html#jls-7.7) of the Java Language Specification for details.\nTLDR; the name must be usable in `requires NAME;` directives of other modules. \n\nAnother example is a Maven artifact that contains one or more `module-info.class` files from one or more other Maven artifacts that are already packaged as Java modules. \nUsually, this is an unwanted side-effect of shad(ow)ing 3rd-party libraries.\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/sormuras"],"categories":["Articles"],"sub_categories":["Basics"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsormuras%2Fmodules","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsormuras%2Fmodules","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsormuras%2Fmodules/lists"}
