How does jpackage search for modules?

[Tobias Oelgarte]

I'm wondering how jpackage searches for modules. I tried to build a very 
simple example (using Build 17 of jpackage), but jpackage always claims 
that the module can't be found.

~$ ./jpackage create-image \
     --output /data/projects/javam/de.asysgmbh.app.test/target/image \
     --name test \
     --main-class de.asysgmbh.app.test.Main \
     --module de.asysgmbh.app.test \
     --module-path /data/projects/javam/de.asysgmbh.app.test/target/modules
~ $ Module de.asysgmbh.app.test does not exist.

The modules directory contains the file 
"de.asysgmbh.app.test-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" including the module-info.class 
with the module named "de.asysgmbh.app.test".

     module de.asysgmbh.app.test { ... }

The following works just fine:

~$ java \
     --module-path 
/data/projects/javam/de.asysgmbh.app.test/target/modules \
     --module de.asysgmbh.app.test/de.asysgmbh.app.test.Main
