JDK-8142991 - Re-examine jdk.scripting.nashorn.shell linked in JRE that drags in jdk.compiler
Description
After jline integration with jjs, jdk.nashorn.tools.jjs.Main class in jdk.scripting.nashorn.shell module is used as "main" class for "jjs" tool. But this module is a "tools module" and hence not available in JRE. Before this jjs used jdk.nashorn.tools.Shell class (extension loader class) and hence jjs of JRE worked. For jdk9, we need a solution where jjs of JRE can use older main class and jjs of JDK uses newer jline integrated jjs.

This diff to the top level repo appears to fix the issue. But, I'd like to understand the implication of this diff before going ahead with this change. $ hg diff diff -r 100b1da106c2 make/Images.gmk --- a/make/Images.gmk Sun Aug 23 10:01:19 2015 +0530 +++ b/make/Images.gmk Mon Aug 24 11:30:35 2015 +0530 @@ -43,10 +43,11 @@ # providers PROVIDER_MODULES += jdk.charsets jdk.crypto.ec jdk.crypto.pkcs11 jdk.jvmstat jd k.localedata \ - jdk.naming.dns jdk.naming.rmi jdk.scripting.nashorn jdk.zipfs + jdk.naming.dns jdk.naming.rmi jdk.scripting.nashorn jdk.internal .le \ + jdk.scripting.nashorn.shell jdk.zipfs # tools -TOOLS_MODULES += jdk.attach jdk.compiler jdk.dev jdk.internal.le jdk.scripting. nashorn.shell \ +TOOLS_MODULES += jdk.attach jdk.compiler jdk.dev \ jdk.javadoc jdk.jcmd jdk.jconsole jdk.hotspot.agent jdk.jartool \ jdk.jdeps jdk.jdi jdk.jdwp.agent jdk.policytool jdk.rmic jdk.xml .bind jdk.xml.ws
