OK .. so long as there's no --add-modules needed for that.

Can you explain what each of these lists are and the implications
of being (and not being) listed on each of them ?
-phil.
The BOOT_MODULES list is the list of modules defined to the boot
loader, the PLATFORM_MODULES list is the modules defined to the
platform class loader. We want the list for the boot loader to be as
small as possible as these modules are fully privileged and no way to
configure them to have less permissions. In this case, then I don't
see anything in the code that needs to be on the boot loader. Nothing
depends on it (which is another consideration - if another module
defined to the boot loader dependent on it then jdk.desktop would need
to be defined to the boot loader). We have some blur on this in JEP
220 and JEP 261 but we might need to all more text to document the
details.
