When should you prefer jmod files and when should you avoid it?

JMOD files are useful for packaging modular Java applications and libraries. They are beneficial when you want to create modular applications that require dynamic linking, versioning, and better manageability. However, they may be avoided in simpler applications where the complexity of managing modularity is not justified.

        // Example of JMOD usage in a Java application
        jmod create --class-path myapp.jar --name myapp.jmod
        jlink --module-path myapp.jmod --output myapp --launcher myapp=myapp/com.example.Main
