QuickFix for unresolved type on service provider in a provides directive

A new quick fix is available when you have an unresolved type on service provider in a provides directive in module-info.java file. If the unresolved type can not be found in the current module, a quick fix will be available to create a new class or an interface in the current module.

This QuickFix is applicable if the project is a Java9 project and has a module-info.java file.

The quick fix can be invoked from the editor:

When the service is a class, the quick fix is proposed for creating a class.

When the service is an interface or an annotation, two quick fixes are proposed for creating a class or an interface.

The above features are just the ones that are new in the Oxygen.2 update release. See also the News for Eclipse Oxygen.1a.
