JDK 9
9-repo-jigsawFixed
Description
This task tracks the development of a writer tool that will be used to create the module image. TBD whether the tool creates the contents for ${java.home}/lib/modules or the complete image.

This tool will initially start out in JDK 9 as a tool used in the build, it will later grow into or be superseded by the jlink API + tool.
