Those packages were distributed and run as JAR, WAR or EAR files.

I never remember having seen them referenced as modules.

OSGi modules? It’s true there are other names, but if you Google “Java 9 packages modules” you’ll get some very weird results. For example: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/3112...

OSGi modules are related to Eclipse and how they modularized their components.

Yes modules in Java don't mean the same thing as in Modula-2, Ada has packages, child packages and nested packages, Object Pascal/UCSD Pascal has units, while VMS Pascal has modules, and so on.

There is plenty of literature to educate onself about the subject instead of Internet random searches.
