Description

I'm trying to use maven-jlink-plugin with a project that has a Maven dependency with <type>pom</type> (which functions as an umbrella dependency bundle with several jars as its dependencies).

Currently, maven-jlink-plugin fails in this case with the following error message:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jlink-plugin:3.2.0:jlink (default) on project junixsocket-demo-jpackagejlink: The given dependency /Users/ck/.m2/repository/com/kohlschutter/junixsocket/junixsocket-core/2.9.1-SNAPSHOT/junixsocket-core-2.9.1-SNAPSHOT.pom does not have a module-info.java file. So it can't be linked. -> [Help 1]

See https://github.com/kohlschutter/junixsocket/commit/a73ce7f100a5f886f232a49e5b12fda98cf9f2d7 for an example.

For what it's worth, the setup works just fine with jlink-maven-plugin (https://github.com/Akman/jlink-maven-plugin)

Patch is attached.
