7177701: error: Filling jar message during

Summary: Recent JDK hash changes affected order in which files are returned

That change seems fragile to say the least. Somewhere some piece of code depends on the iteration order of the collection. The recent changes meant that HashSet's returned order changed and broke things. So you change to a LinkedHashSet which somehow restores the old order (or at least reorders it yet again but in a way that doesn't cause a problem).
