Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Empty 'module-info.java' file

Reports an empty module-info.java file, indicating unresolved module dependencies. Automatically adds necessary requires statements by inspecting imports. To suppress this warning, you may write any comment inside the module statement body, like this:

module module.name { // no dependencies }

Quick Fix: Fill in module dependencies fills in missing requires based on source code imports. New in 2024.1
