sample java app showing to how to detect split packages

Summary

This demonstrates how to detect split packages across jars using the gradle-java9c gradlew plugin.

https://github.com/jonnyzzz/gradle-java9c

This is useful because in Java 9+ with JPMS if apps are modularized, this disallows the same package in more than one named modules. Therefore, Grail jars may have to eliminate all split packages.

Commands

• use gradlew run to execute the project
• use gradlew java9c to run the utility which will find split packages. This should be printed

Package 'parser.xml' is declared in
     - core-parser.jar
     - fast-parser.jar

The project can be modularized and compiled with a module-path. When this occurs Java module rules will prevent this from occurring due to split packages in the automatically named modules (derived from the jars).

This project was based off of the below example post:
