As requested, I've created a new issue. Is there some reason why Ant
does not use the JDK's jar tool?

I would like to use the --module-version and --main-class options with
Ant's Jar task, but I could not find them in the manual:
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/jar.html
I can accomplish this using exec, but it would be simpler if I could
use those options with the jar task. 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.
