The build files wouldn't be really be simpler; we will still need a jdk9 profile regardless. I've found too many threads on google where users had issues which could be resolved by adding the `jdk.tools` dependency to consider this a 100% safe change.
Since the degree of simplification is questionable and there are otherwise no benefits to generally excluding the dependency the risks far exceed the rewards. If even a single person is inconvenienced by this it already wasn't worth it. I will merge the PR as is. Let's move the discussion for moving hadoop to `flink-shaded` into a dedicated JIRA since it will just get lost here.
