Hi Alan,
Thanks for the detailed explanation and it would be great to find this
in your docs - I will link to it.
The reasons I understood, jimage might go away, as I read this
https://bugs.*openjdk*.java.net/browse/JDK-8049369
<http://java.net/browse/JDK-8049369>.
Yeah, it is confusing. That JBS issue tracked the creation of temporary
image builder tool to use in JDK 9 until we had jlink. In jigsaw/jake
then this image building tool has been removed and the build changed to
create the run-time images with jlink. The Dependences section of JEP
261 has a few words on this.
