If we want the JARs to be usable in a JPMS environment, which I assume

we do, then the answer has to be yes.

That is defined in the JLS isn't it? (Roughly name plus appropriate

directives for requires, exports, opens, uses and provides.)

I think this is more about the naming convention to be used.

There are also gritty details about whether version information must be required in the build of the module (something that Maven compiler plugin does by default as of 3.8.1), when transitive and static requires statements should be used, etc.
