Modules with java.* classes must be mapped to the boot or platform class 
loader. That mapping is defined in make/conf/module-loader-map.conf.

java.se is the aggregator module for the APIs for ava SE platform. 
You'll see it has a `requires transitive` for each of the standard modules.

That should be enough to get your doodle going. As per previous mails, 
it's very likely that JEP-198 will be withdrawn or replaced with a new 
JEP, when the time comes.
