Qn. to Mandy & Alan : it seems there is no need to mention this module

it as a module nor classification of it.
Right, it's not necessary to list modules that are defined to the
application class loader and are only in the JDK image. There's a
comment at the top of the make file on this but it probably could be a
bit clearer.
The build determines the modules to be compiled from the source
directory per the modular source layout. make/common/Modules.gmk serves
a few purpose and the relevant one here is the module to class loader
mapping. It lists the modules defined to the boot loader and platform
boot loader.
