Description Eric Kolotyluk CLA 2016-12-24 15:58:45 EST 
As a Software Developer,
I want to be able to create a Java module via the IDE GUI,
So that I can I can build module based projects in Eclipse.

1. File->New menu contains "Module" item
2. GUI prompts for the 'module name'
3. Creates default module-info.java file based on 'module name'
4. Editor recognizes module declaration correctly

Such functionality is being developed in JDT/UI.
Comment 2 Stephan Herrmann CLA 2016-12-25 06:53:17 EST 
This request touches different tasks, marking as duplicate of the one that addresses creation of module-info.java.

Note, that Oxygen cannot support development with Java 9, since at the date of the Oxygen release Java 9 does not "exist". It is planned, however, to release this functionality once Java 9 is released.
