Including a module-info.class will be required by the Jakarta EE 10 
platform spec. The latest version of those requirements that I have is:

- spec module name is jakarta.<specName>
- spec provides JPMS module definition (reliance on automatic modules is
  not allowed)
- spec updates provider lookup algorithm to include search on
  module-path (if applicable)
- TCK tests should be updated or provided to ensure a properly
  configured and functional module-info.class
