At the moment, in Eclipse IDE, users can add any JRE to a project's build path, regardless of the JRE that the IDE is running on. For e.g. users can have multiple installations/versions of JRE 8 in different projects and each of them will be considered a different platform library because they are coming from different path/location. Same goes for multiple versions of JRE 9. And all this while running on a JRE 7 or JRE 8 or a different installation of JRE 9 for e.g. This basically means that, (with our current framework) we are going to be able to read classes (code) from a given .jimage location/path or java.home. We would like to keep it that way, if possible. I remember seeing your response [1] to one of the questions earlier but not sure if that is meant to work for JRE 7. I did a quick search and this one [2] looks relevant too. > Or maybe you are looking to do > arbitrary mixing of modules from different JDK 9 builds? We are not interested in this per se.
