Description

Currently when I need to to run single file (Shift-F6) on a modular application I go to

ProjectDir->RightClick->Properties->Actions->Run file via main()

and change the `exec.args` from:

`-classpath %classpath ${packageClassName}`

to

`--module-path %classpath:/opt/javafx-mods/14/ -m jdk14Example/${packageClassName}`

 

It would be nice to have an expression for selecting the module of the currently open file so that it is not hardcoded. e.g. `${moduleName}` instead of `jdk14Example`. This way if module name changes, the run configuration will not break.
