When using the jlink command if there is a created directory, jlink gives
"Error: directory already exists: <path>" output. I remember it was
overwriting the files in earlier releases. I think there could be a -f
parameter to force overwriting or recreating the output.
I don't recall it every overriding as that would be problematic if the
existing run-time image is in use. If jlink were to blow away the
existing image then it might cause existing VMs to SIGBUS. On Windows
then it won't be able to remove all files. Moving the directory to a
.bak directory has also been looked at but it has issues too.
