I've given this a quick test. Organize imports properly adds the import.
However, eclipse will have a
ctrl+1suggestion to add the module to module-info.java, and vscode-java does not do this.@shin19991207 When you're not busy, do you think you can look into why this particular suggestion doesn't exist? :D

I think it'd be nice to also handle adding the
requiresentry when using the "Organize Imports" command instead of having to do activate the quick fix separately; I think that'll need to be handled upstream in jdt.core though, since currently the upstream "Organize Imports" also doesn't add therequiresentry to themodule-info.javadatho7561 commentedon Nov 4, 2026
@shin19991207 if you have time, do mind investigating what I mentioned as well? It might require changes in jdt.core.manipulation (under jdt.ui)
