When creating a Java Project checking the "Create module-info.java file" checkbox is very helpful. But the "New module-info.java" dialog should NOT populate the "Module name" field with a value that results in the warning "Discouraged module name."

Currently, if you name your project something like "Sandbox", the default module name will be "Sandbox", which is apparently discouraged. In this case "sandbox" would be an acceptable module name.

In my experience Eclipse should only populate fields with values that are legal and that do not result in a warning or error.
