Make Lingua usable within Java 9 modules

I’ve added lingua to my build.gradle like so:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.pemistahl:lingua:1.1.1'
}

My module-info.java requires it like so:

module com.linguatest {
    requires lingua;
}

Still, it doesn’t compile:

C:\Users\Bucko\Projects\linguatest\src\main\java\module-info.java:2: error: module not found: lingua
    requires lingua;
             ^

What configuration do I need to do to get my project to recognize lingua as a module? (This was all done in a blank Hello World project with default IntelliJ gradle project settings. Other dependencies I add are recognized, but lingua is not.)

@pemistahl I’ll be looking forward to it. I’m planning to use it for short text, so lingua is a perfect fit. Thanks for the fast reply.

Hi @drinkitup777, thank you for trying out my library and for your question. I have no experience with Java 9 modules so far but it seems that I have to add a module-info.java file to the library to make it work. This is mentioned in the Gradle docs. I will add this in the near future.
