Looks good.  A couple of minor comments:

- classLoaderData.cpp
   ClassLoaderDataGraph::clean_module_and_package_info does more than 
just purge module reads and package exports lists, it
   also removes entries in the dictionary of live class loaders. Maybe 
consider changing the name?

- packageEntry.cpp
    needs copyright updated.

Thanks,
Lois
