How to add a Library in the main module [module-info.java]? #60
Description
I use the jssc package to access serial port. I added it to the main module
module DeskCheck {
requires java.desktop;
requires java.logging;
requires jssc;
}
But I believe I am doing it wrong, because there is an error saying that module does not exist.
Creating jlink image in dist\jimage/.
Executing: C:\Program Files\jdk-12.0.2\bin\jlink.exe --module-path dist\DeskCheck.jar;C:\Program Files\jdk-12.0.2\jmods --add-modules DeskCheck --output dist\jimage --compress=2
Error: Module jssc not found, required by DeskCheck

I believe you need to add our jar to the launch options....
As the stackoverflow article explains, modules are not for dependency management. Instead, they're used for modularity and can control scope and security. This article explains their purpose: https://www.baeldung.com/java-9-modularity

Alternately, you can always add the source code of JSSC into your project (e.g. as a subtree or submodule) and let your project compile the components as needed.
If you'd like to add any steps to the wiki to make this easier for others, please let us know. Closing as I don't think there's a bug here.
