You mean something like this in Java 8?

Or the much delayed Jigsaw in Java 9 (hopefully)?

basically my small requirements are what most
desktop applications would require and thus
a 'desktop profile' might be easier than managing
modules one by one, on the otherhand, this might
not be much more work and could be more compact.
