JEP-282: JLink two modules exporting the same package name

[Alex Buckley]

In general, there is no problem with modules in the image or on the 
modulepath that contain and export the same package. The problem comes 
when a single module requires two other modules which both contain and 
export the same package. There is no such single module in the image 
you're creating -- your modules A and B are independent.
