The module location from an exploded image is file URL rather than file path. This issue can be reproduced with jdk/test/java/lang/Package/GetPackages.java on windows. This looks okay, maybe slightly better if it starts for "file:/".

At some point then I think we need to re-examine the underlying JVM function to see if we can get it to return a file URL for -Xbootclasspath/a case too. That is, it's a bit strange for the function to return a String that is sometimes a URL, sometimes a file path. -Alan
