jdk.jlink (Java SE 11 & JDK 11 ) (original) (raw)

Defines the jlink tool for creating run-time images, the jmod tool for creating and manipulating JMOD files, and the jimage tool for inspecting the JDK implementation-specific container file for classes and resources.

This module provides the equivalent of command-line access to the_jlink_ and_jmod_ tools via theToolProvider SPI. Instances of the tools can be obtained by callingToolProvider.findFirst or the service loader with the name"jlink" or "jmod" as appropriate.

jimage only exists as a command-line tool, and does not provide any direct API.
