I've re-read the discussion and related bugs. As I understand it what
you see now is expected and reflects what happens in 7 and 8. What
should see is that the empty path elements causes CWD to be included
for resource lookup, but not for class lookup. That inconsistency was
flagged for fixing in 7, deferred to 9, rectified early on, but then
reverted when the module system was integrated - with the eventual fix
re-appearing in JDK 10.
Right except there is a small regression in JDK 9 where the boot loader
will locate resources in the working directory when using
-Xbootclasspath/a. It's fixed in jdk10/master and Mandy had added a good
set of tests via JDK-8185541 to ensure that inconsistencies going come back.
