Eclipse to update module-info.java [message #1793665]

When I am doing a Java project based on m2e, the pom.xml hosts all dependencies to jar files.
In general (I do not know of an exception) these jar files are representing modules in the sense of Java>9. When using a class from e.g. org.apache.commons.io, say FilenameUtil, I do not get the offer to complete the list of imports as with Java<9, because the line requires org.apache.commens.io; is missing in module-info.java.

I have to add that line manually.

I would like to get assisted by Eclipse Java editor in extending module-info.java. Wouldn't that be possible?

I am using Proton 20180619-1200 with m2e 1.9.0.20180606-2036,

The relationship of modules, module-info.java, m2e and Eclipse Autocompletion seems to be more complex than I thought. I hope these relationships will be understood a bit better in the future - by me and/or by Eclipse architects.
