I talked about this with Mandy and decided to integrate this change first in jdk9/dev repository. I will merge the change back to Jake after that.

Naoto - can you confirm that the plan is to do this in jdk9/dev? I don't think we have this restructure in jigsaw/jake. I realize this means a bit of re-work when we sync up jigsaw/jake.

Moved to an independent issue as it is inherently not related to Jigsaw. Planning to fix it in the main JDK9 line.
