"it should never attempt to use the native implementation” This is confusing. It’s attempting to see if a native library is present otherwise use java. Is this the wrong approach?

jrtfs should use the native implementation when targeting the current runtime of course.

However, when the target runtime is different then the safest is to use the pure-java implementation. I think this will become more obvious when jrtfs is updated to work on JDK 9 but targeting a different JDK 9 build.
