The term exploded in exploded-image refers to how the class files are stored. In the exploded image, they are just files on disk while in the JDK or JRE image, they are packaged. In JDK 8 and older, it used to be in jars, but in JDK 9 it's a new format called jimage.

So what build target will ensure the exploded image is created and

`make` without any target, that has always been the default.

Note that if you use Jib, the default target is remapped to build
everything associated with the profile in use. You can use "make jdk"
or "make exploded-image" (they are equivalent) to get the full
exploded image.
