  `hashModulesPattern`
    Regular expression for names of modules in the module path which depend on the jmod being created, and which should have hashes generated for them and included in the new jmod.
  `resolveByDefault`
    Boolean indicating whether the jmod should be one of the default resolved modules in an application. Default is true.
  `moduleWarnings`
    Whether to emit warnings when resolving modules which are not recommended for use. Comma-separated list of one of more of the following:
    `deprecated`
      Warn if module is deprecated
    `leaving`
      Warn if module is deprecated for removal
    `incubating`
      Warn if module is an incubating (not yet official) module

  Supported nested elements:

  `<classpath>`
    Path indicating where to locate files to be placed in the jmod file.

    Module version of jmod. Must have a required `number` attribute. May also have optional `preRelease` and `build` attributes.
  `<moduleWarning>`
    Has one required attribute, `reason`. See `moduleWarnings` attribute above. This element may be specified multiple times.

  destFile and classpath are required data.
