So to be sure about where a module is and what its name is, tools like
ant, have
to open the module-info.java file and read it? If ant looks at a
directory and finds
both module-info.java and java sources, then it probably is a single
module compile.

If it only finds a module-info.java file and the module_name inside it,
sort of corresponds
to the directory (or is the directory name encoded into the
module-info.java file)
then it is multiple module setup?

I was hoping that when I found a module-info.java file, the directory in
which it resides
is the name of the module. Fast and convenient.....
