Gradle JavaFX Jlink : duplicate module on application module path

I have a project working with gradle and everything build and run perfectly but I have issues packaging my application. I work on WSL and would like to have both linux and windows executables but to begin having one is okay I don't really care as long as it works and I can understand how to replicate it on the other OS.

So far, I have read a lot of things on the internet and tried to use this plugin in order to package my application. But when I use gradle jlink, I am warned about a duplicate module issue as you can see below. I have tried many things but cannot find anythign which works or a similar problem on the web. Would you have any clue on what I may be overlooking because of my inexperience?

Thank you in advance !

Here is my gradle.build file :


plugins {
  id 'java'
  id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.13'
  id 'org.beryx.jlink' version '2.16.2'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    mavenLocal()
}

javafx {
    version = "19"
    modules = [ 'javafx.controls', 'javafx.fxml' ]
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.aerofx:aerofx:0.2"
    implementation "pdfbox:pdfbox:0.7.3"
    implementation "org.javatuples:javatuples:1.2"
    implementation "org.controlsfx:controlsfx:11.0.3"
    implementation "org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client:2.1.2"

    implementation "org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.13"
    implementation "org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.1"
}

application {
    mainModule = 'CharacterCreator'
    mainClass = 'CharacterCreator.Menu.App'
}

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    options.compilerArgs << '-Xlint:unchecked'
    options.deprecation = true
}

jlink {
    options = ['--strip-debug', '--compress', '2', '--no-header-files', '--no-man-pages']
    launcher{
        name = 'hello'
        jvmArgs = ['-Dlog4j.configurationFile=./log4j2.xml']
    }
}

And my module-info file :

    requires pdfbox;
    requires javatuples;
    requires java.sql;
    requires javafx.base;

    requires miscellaneousWidgets;
    requires java.desktop;
    requires java.net.http;
    requires httpmime;

    exports CharacterCreator.Creator;
    opens CharacterCreator.Edits to javafx.fxml;
    exports CharacterCreator.Edits;
    opens CharacterCreator.Menu to javafx.fxml;
    exports CharacterCreator.Menu;
    opens CharacterCreator.Misc to javafx.fxml;
    exports CharacterCreator.Misc;
    opens CharacterCreator.Races to javafx.fxml;
    exports CharacterCreator.Races;
    opens CharacterCreator.Relations to javafx.fxml;
    exports CharacterCreator.Relations;
    opens CharacterCreator.Visus to javafx.fxml;
    exports CharacterCreator.Visus;
}

Solution

I had the same problem, and I found out, that the folder build/jlinkbase/jlinkjars contained mentioned modules for both platform - mac (which I use to develop) and win.

after reading https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-gradle-plugin/issues/65 I just needed to identify the "polluting" library and applied the fix, which was mentioned:

implementation (....) { exclude group:org.openjfx }
