Right, as without it there will be warnings due to jtreg launching tests to export packages that aren't in java.base. There may also be a few tests that use launch child VMs with explicit options to export these packages so they will need to be hunted down. It may be that all the tests are passing, in which case this could be done in a follow-up PR, but I think better to do everything at the same time.
