talking about making modules out of libraries jars.

Jars on the classpath get automatically wrapped into 1 virtual module at
runtime. My understanding was that all you need to to do is to call a
command line app to make a module from a jar (which although
autogenerates the module-info.java).

There are chances although that I completely screwed this up. There's
been a ton of informations on all this stuff and without at least having
had a hands on it's really easy to mix things up.
