Description
The datatransfer API (java.awt.datatransfer) is used by the Java Activiation Framework, JavaMail and JAXB but is currently unable to be used in embedded environments that don't have the AWT/desktop module present.

This enhancement is a project for JDK 9 and requires refactoring java.awt.datatransfer so that it can be packaged as a module without any dependency (static or reflective) on AWT.
