[bv-dev] Jigsaw module name

[Michael Nascimento]

I know it's late to reply to this, but seems fine. I'd consult the Java EE
EG just to make sure they don't want to use a javax.ee prefix (which seems
odd, though). Using the predominant/"root" package for the module is what
I'd recommend too.

Regards,
Michael
