Re: [wildfly-dev] JDK 9 images are now modular with JDK 9 Early Access build 41

Hi Jason/Tomaz, The initial changesets for JEP 220: Modular Run-Time Images [1] are available with JDK 9 early-access build 41 [2]. To summarize (please see the JEP for details): - The "jre" subdirectory is no longer present in JDK images. - The user-editable configuration files in the "lib" subdirectory have been moved to the new "conf" directory. - The endorsed-standards override mechanism has been removed. - The extension mechanism has been removed. - rt.jar, tools.jar, and dt.jar have been removed. - A new URI scheme for naming stored modules, classes, and resources has been defined. - For tools that previously accessed rt.jar directly, a built-in NIO file-system provider has been defined to provide access to the class and resource files within a run-time image.
