With the Modular Source Code [1] in JDK 9, the verify-modules target was added in the build to catch any regression to the module boundaries. It's important to catch this regression early during jdk development. This patch proposes to add verify-modules to the default target and also images target (it was a bug). This will track the time to determine if the build time becomes an issue.
