Class files and resources go through the linker pipeline. Other types of
types (native libraries, conf files, ...) are copied form the packaged
module (JMOD files) to the appropriate location in the runtime image.
But, yes, there is no incremental update of a runtime image when only
specific files changed, the runtime images are always created when
something changes and you are building images.
