I looked more closely at this and I think it's best to handle NCDFE rather than the more general LinkageError.

Ok, I make the follow change before pushing:

diff --git a/src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/jimage/BasicImageReader.java b/src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/jimage/BasicImageReader.java --- a/src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/jimage/BasicImageReader.java +++ b/src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/jimage/BasicImageReader.java @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@

     try {
         substrate = ImageNativeSubstrate.openImage(imagePath, byteOrder);

But I hope very temporary, we need to get this code fixed so do the right thing.

I added the follow to JDK-8137017, to ensure this is not forgotten:

jrt-fs.jar should not depend, directly or indirectly, on JDK internal native libraries, e.g. libjimage.

-Chris.
