Summary

Fixes #560

  • Fixed Automatic-Module-Name in mcp-core/pom.xml to use a valid JPMS module name
  • Changed from io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp-core (invalid - contains dash) to io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp.core
  • OSGI Bundle-SymbolicName kept as io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp-core for backward compatibility

Problem

JPMS module names must be valid Java identifiers and cannot contain dashes. The previous automatic module name io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp-core prevented usage in modular Java applications.

Solution

Hard-coded the Automatic-Module-Name to io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp.core.

Alternative: Could use BND's substitution macro ${subst;${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId};-;.} if dynamic generation is preferred by maintainers.

Compatibility

OSGI's Bundle-SymbolicName remains unchanged with the dash (mcp-core) as OSGI allows dashes in symbolic names. Having different names for JPMS and OSGI is acceptable and common.

Test plan

  • Built mcp-core module successfully
  • Verified manifest contains Automatic-Module-Name: io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp.core
  • Verified Bundle-SymbolicName remains io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp-core

Changed Automatic-Module-Name from io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp-core
to io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp.core. JPMS module names must be valid
Java identifiers and cannot contain dashes. This was preventing usage in
modular Java applications.

The OSGI Bundle-SymbolicName is kept as io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk.mcp-core
(with dash) for backward compatibility, as OSGI allows dashes in symbolic names.

Note: If preferred, the Automatic-Module-Name could use BND's substitution
macro instead: ${subst;${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId};-;.}

Oh, nice!! If you would like to change it to that here, personally I actually think that would be much nicer... (But I'm NOT a maintainer here!) Saying this mostly because I have a hunch that this bnd-maven-plugin really belongs into the root pom.xml instead of the mcp-core/pom.xml; but perhaps that's better left for a future follow-up PR.

I agree. I would personally be fine with this PR being dropped and this automatic module name handling being added to all modules, using substitution, with bnd-maven-plugin in the root, like you suggest. Let's see what happens here.
