Why demo/sample before launchers?

Hi Kelly I noticed that in jdk build, demo and sample are before launchers. In a jdk-only build, JDK_IMPORT_PATH's javac is used. Otherwise, BOOTDIR's javac using javac.jar built from langtools is used. Why not build launchers first and use the brand new javac to compile demo/sample? Thanks
