module-info.java just causes problems

[Remi Forax]

Like Alan,
i hope you will re-compile the module, it's more safe.

Otherwise, you can use javap to dump the actual module-info.java from the module-info.class,
patch it, recompile it with javac and then do a jar --update to replace the module-info.class in the jar

cheers,
Rémi
