The actual changes look good to me. As a follow up, I think we should check if we could remove some of the JDK prefixes that was in place just to differentiate from the JRE. The term JDK is so overloaded, so it would be good to get rid of it where possible (as in "JDK image", which should be only "image" now).
I also hear Martin's fear about this being a too large change. I don't think that is a problem per se, but you should probably get some input from our downstream distributors so that they are able to provide the packages they feel are needed. /Magnus > 2 juni 2018 kl. 01:02 skrev Erik Joelsson <erik.joels...@oracle.com>: > > Since JDK 9 and modules, the idea of a prebuilt JRE is no longer providing > much value.
