Summary of fix:

 We need to clean up and refactor the class loading code in order
 to support CDS in JDK9

 [1] Remove code that has been made obsolete by the module changes
     (such as supporting code used for meta-index file)
 [2] Add new whitebox API to be used by CDS-related tests.
 [3] Refactor the parsing of classlist files for future enhancements.
 [4] Add new APIs in the class loading code to support Oracle CDS

enhancements.

Tests:

 JPRT
 RBT - with same set of tests as hs-rt nightly

Thanks
