Description
Would it be possible to publish an version like `1.3.6` with a module descriptor?
When trying to link the module `com.sun.xml.ws@2.3.7`, the only module that fails is the `java.annotation`, which the latest version is the 1.3.5.
Currently in my build, I can create a module-info and I add it to the jar:
```sh
jdeps --generate-module-info tmp lib/jakarta.annotation-api.jar
javac --patch-module=java.annotation=lib/jakarta.annotation-api.jar tmp/java.annotation/module-info.java
jar uf lib/jakarta.annotation-api.jar -C tmp/java.annotation/ module-info.class
```
However, migrating this to a Maven build complicates a lot, and it would be very useful if there was old release with the module-info descriptor.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Maven build and release configuration for the jakarta.annotation-api artifact, then inspect the existing 1.3.5 JAR and its module naming with the jdeps commands shown in the issue. Done means a published 1.3.6 artifact includes a usable module descriptor and can be consumed from a Maven build without manual JAR modification.
