> ### Problem description > Minimal jdk image created by jlink with the only jdk.compiler module and its > dependencies > fails to run java source launcher correctly (for example when --source N is > specified). > Failing source launcher is only one the expressions of internal jdk.compiler > malfunction, another example is failure to run javac with --release option. > > ### Root cause > Module jdk.compiler requires zip filesystem (jdk.zipfs module) to parse > ct.sym file and so to provide full functionality. > Module jdk.zipfs is not included in the minimal JDK image, because module > jdk.compiler does not declare it as "requires" in its module info. > > ### Alternative patch > The problem can be alternatively resolved by complex code checks in > jdk.compiler to provide user with valid error message, however that solution > would be just a workaround for jdk.compiler dual functionality (with or > without presence of jdk.zipfs module). Compiler functionality without access > to ct.sym through jdk.zipfs is very limited. > > ### Proposed fix > This patch fixes the problem by explicit declaration of jdk.compiler > dependency on jdk.zipfs. > Plus added specific test case. > > Please review the patch or raise objections against declaration of > jdk.compiler dependent on jdk.zipfs. > > Thanks, > Adam
