If there isn't a module-info.class in the root directory of these JAR 
files then they are considered to be automatic modules. Automatic 
modules can't be linked into a runtime image. I realize this isn't the 
main point of your thread but just mentioning it that you will always 
get an error from link when there is a dependency on an automatic module.
