Enable JDK9+ module-info

[skjolber]

I'm trying to use modules in a support library, but there seems to be no module-info for jjwt. I suggest following either Jackson's or SLF4J's approach.

First add a default module name, then later module info (a bigger job).

@skjolber now that 0.11.0 is out and builds/works on JDK 11, is this still needed?

[skjolber]

@lhazlewood can't seem to find any module descriptor or automatic module name entry in the manifest? Ref https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/jsonwebtoken/jjwt-impl/0.11.0/

[lhazlewood]

@skjolber correct, we didn't add them to the release - I was curious however if they are still necessary to use in JDK11 given that our builds run and work on JDK11.

[skjolber]

So disabling the module system is possible, and then all will run 'as before'. But that is hardly proper support. You might be interested in this: https://dzone.com/articles/automatic-module-name-calling-all-java-library-maintainers

I have best experience with using the moditech plugin, see this example.

Hi @lhazlewood. Is there a due date for the 0.12.0 milestone?

[lhazlewood]

@andrewhrytsiv Hi! All I can say as an unpaid team of volunteers, we move as quickly as we're able, so we cannot commit to any dates or timelines.

I will say however that there has been a tremendous amount of active work in the last 3 months on the jwe branch and other PRs, so all I can say is that 1) we're working as hard as we can and 2) there are a lot of awesome things about to drop in the next release as soon as we can get it out. I hope that helps!

@lhazlewood I appreciate your work. Thank you for the feedback.
