Robert Scholte commented on MJLINK-27:
--------------------------------------
bq. the actual output by maven-jlink-plugin is correct.
This is what I would expect.
bq. In spite of the aforementioned bug in getModulePathElements(), which still
needs to be fixed.
The current result is by design. plexus-java has the option to divide path
elements over the modulepath and classpath. It walks through the tree of all
required modules, but this only works if it knows which modules are in the end
selected by the JRE, hence it already picks the first module in case there are
multiple with the same name.
All required information is available in the
[ResolvePathsResult|https://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-languages/plexus-java/apidocs/org/codehaus/plexus/languages/java/jpms/ResolvePathsResult.html].
The lazy solution would be to simple put all {{pathElements()}} on the
modulepath, but why?
If you want to include all modules with name X, you need to add a setter to the
request ( e.g. setAllowDuplicateModules() ) and adjust the implementation.

> It doesn't have to be the same module per-se. It is possible for two
> different implementations with the same module name to reside on the module
