java -jar should run in module mode if the jar is a mdular jar

This makes sense to me, but then I wonder if the main class is specified 
in the module-info.class as some type of service or if you continue to 
specify that in the jar manifest.

It seems there is no way to start a modular jar with java -jar ?
java -jar should detect if a module-info.class is present and act 
accordingly.
