Now that the source code layout and the changes to build by module are in JDK 9 it means that the temporary staging forest (jigsaw/stage) that we used to prepare those changes should no longer be needed. To that end, jigsaw/stage has been renamed to jigsaw/m1 and changed to be read-only.
Next up is modularizing the structure of the binary images (what we know today as the JDK and JRE builds in $OUTPUT_DIR/images). There will be a JEP with a detailed proposal on this soon. We expect there will significant infrastructure work in this milestone and we need a forest to collect the various prototype and other pieces that will be needed. To that end, we have a new forest jigsaw/m2 [1] that we will be using for this work. It is initially cloned from jdk9-b28.
