No. When compiling a multi-module project, javac writes the output of 
each module in a directory having the module name (this is standard 
javac behavior, not something invented by the work on Maven module 
support). The pull request detects this situation and generates a JAR 
for each module. Because the result is many JAR files (one per module), 
we cannot use a single artifactID anymore. The name of each module is 
used as artifactID. The plugin also generates the corresponding pom.xml 
for each JAR.

We will need to align them, otherwise we cannot support multi-module in 
Java sense. It is already on my roadmap after JAR.

File name is Java module name + version number and eventually other 
stuff (type, etc.) if we want.
