Thank you for that detail - I've now removed the SecurityManager checks from this newly introduced code.

Were you thinking of exploded builds? I'm not too familiar with exploded builds, but after you commented here about the `.jmod` extension, I checked the existing code in `JLinkTask` and I can see that we seem to allow the module to be packaged as a `.jar` too, like here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/jdk.jlink/share/classes/jdk/tools/jlink/internal/JlinkTask.java#L834. Do you think this cross platform image creation would be relevant/used with exploded builds and if so, should I update the PR to address it?
