 Hi!

I guess it's too late to change that now, but I find two of JDeps
command line options have really unfortunate names:

`--generate-module-info`

* module-info is very colloquial, is this term used anywhere else?
* it's singular, which is of course grammatically correct but
  _really_ weird - it generates many module declarations (infos?)
  after all

`--generate-open-module`

* this should definitely be plural
* where did the "-info" go - is it not needed here?

I think `--generate-modules`/`--generate-open-modules` would be nice and
comparatively succinct. There is a slight discomfort because nobody is
actually creating modules, so
`--generate-module-declarations`/`--generate-open-module-declarations`
would be more precise, but obviously much longer.

 so long ... Nicolai
