Ilya,
I'd like this idea. But I think having two tools.jar libraries
(jdk/jre/lib/tools.jar and jdk/lib/tools.jar) may be quite confusing.
It's convenient for JDK to have jdk/lib/tools.jar and many programs
explicitly include it into CLASSPATH. I suggest renaming second
tools.jar (going to JRE) to jretools.jar or something ike this, so
we'll have
jdk/jre/lib/jretools.jar
jdk/lib/tools.jar
which should be less confusing.
I agree - it looks better.
I just notice that module names jdk/ and jre/ are misleading also.
These modules are good places for tools implemented thru
org.apache.harmony.tools.<tool>.Main classes. But these modules will
not include all tools which go to JRE or JDK.
Would jdk-java/ and jre-java/ be better names?

Thanks.
