This wiki describes the proposal implemented in the explicit-module-path branch for better support of Java Platform Module System (JPMS) in Maven. The work is divided in 3 parts, detailled in separated pages. Each part can be done independently of the others.

• Explicit module path
• Easier support of --add-exports and other parameters
• Filter Maven dependencies according module-info
• Module Source Hierarchy
• Maven 4 support in NetBeans

Java 9+ dependencies

The current prototype has some dependencies to Java 9 and later, because it needs to use java.lang.module.ModuleDescriptor class. A future version of the prototype may use multi-version JAR files for allowing execution on Java 8 with no module information.
