module-info.java of jr-stree refers to module com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.ob.api, which is not defined

[qurben]

module-info.java in jr-stree requires com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.ob.api, but this module does not exist, this package is exported by com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.ob, but that doesn't mean it is required to explicitly require this package.

I don't quite understand the problem here: that package is exposed by jr-objects and as name suggests contains API types for that module. Stree module needs it. What is not defined? What should be changed?

[qurben]

jr-stree should only require the com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.ob module, this implies access to the api package (because this module exports the api package).

require is for requiring modules, not packages.

The error I'm getting is

'java.lang.module.FindException: Module com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.ob.api not found, required by com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.stree'.

Ahh. Ok yes. I.... have not used module system for anything myself and forgot the asymmetry (exporting package, requiring modules). Thank you for the explanation, you are obviously correct here.
