This seems incorrect given JEP 493, which doesn't have a `jmods` directory. 
Perhaps use something like this instead?


If this option is not specified, the JDK's default module path will be used.
The default module path will always include the `java.base` module, either
resolved from packaged modules (JMODS) or the run-time image (JEP 493).
JDK external modules must always be specified using this option.
