With further discussion with Chris Bensen and others, we agree that the
packager would require the presence of the packaged module of jdk.packager to
be present matching the runtime version of the image being created. The
packager will determine the root modules and invoke jlink to create the
resulting image for a non-modular application. To get the root modules for a
release, one solution is to generate that list at build time.
ModuleFinder currently finds modules for runtime. packager will need to detect
if the packaged module of jdk.packager is found and matching the version of the
resulting image being created. This patches provides an API to get a
ModuleFinder configured for link phase and JDK-8147894 will refresh the jlink
API to support that.
This looks okay. It would nicer if it didn't have otherMods in the API
but I can see how this package it easier for packager. Maybe that can be
looked at again once the jlink API is updated.
