JavaFX 11 maven snapshots - empty jars

[Johan Vos]

I spent some more time on this.
Adding the Automatic-Module-Name seems the easiest fix to me. I created a
PR at https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/pull/162 for this.

Having the platform-name hardcoded in the artifact Id would require upfront
magic in build.gradle or pom.xml to prevent the need to put a platform
hardcoded in the build.gradle or pom.xml.
Removing the empty jars never gives a result that works fine for both maven
and gradle, see
https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/pull/83#issuecomment-404828804

In the end, the real fix for this should be in maven/gradle. We currently
need to specify dependencies in both the module-info.java as well as in the
pom.xml. That doesn't sound right. I would assume that the gradle Java
plugin should check if a dependency contains a module-info.class, and if
so, parse it and process it.
