This was for JShell. It also seemed that this needed a java executable in the bin directory. I added that manually and was able to use JShell from a OS X java 9 application.

I realize this is going off-topic but can you elaborate more on this. There should never be a need to copy binaries into the bin directory. The jdk.jshell module includes jshell launcher for example.
