: I could live with a jlink option to create a JRE. The problem is that the list of modules required to produce a compatible JRE is not documented anywhere. I tried fishing the list out of the build makefile but it’s not trivial. I ended up running “jimage list module | grep Module: on a JDK 10 JRE to get the list. The release file in the top-level directory has a MODULES key with the complete list. Alternatively, java --list-modules.

In addition, there are other options used and it might that we should have the build invoke jlink with --save-opts so that the options are saved. Part of the original motive for --save-opts was to support a way to "relink" to re-run the link with the same options but pick up newer versions of the modules.
