Re: Next maven-jlink-plugin release?

Hi all,

I just tested the new version 3.3.0 of the maven-jlink-plugin.
And I can happily annouce that it now works perfectly with JavaFX. Due 
to the automatic module detection, no errors are thrown anymore and it 
just works.

Also very nice: It is easy to provide JavaFX JMods and that also just 
works.
This makes the JLink functionality in the javafx-maven-plugin obsolete 
(They already thought about deprecating it in favor of the official 
maven plugin).

Thanks for the work!

Question: Is there a need for more contributors for the maven-jlink 
plugin? If so, I'd be happy to help (Mostly if there are new features or 
support for JLink plugins, PR #603).
Background: I heavily use the Java module system, especially with/in 
JavaFX applications. And optimize with JLink and JPackage to be as small 
as possible. I'm also a JavaFX Committer.
