Can those two options be added? I think there already is a Bugzilla enhancement request for --main-class but none for --module-version. Can you either please update the existing ticket[1] or add a new one for the second part? As for "can it be done?": of course, but it may be a bit more difficult than you think. Ant does not use the JDK's jar tool at all but rather builds the jar by itself (that's just a ZIP with some extra contents, after all). So we'll need to figure out from the docs what those switches actually do and mimic the outcome.
