how to split up runtime / development parts in OpenJDK 11?

[Martin Buchholz]

Matthias,

To actually answer your question, you can do

 $ make legacy-jre-image &&
build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jre/bin/java --list-modules
Building target 'legacy-jre-image' in configuration
'linux-x86_64-normal-server-release'
Creating legacy jre image
Finished building target 'legacy-jre-image' in configuration
'linux-x86_64-normal-server-release'
make legacy-jre-image  9.82s user 2.09s system 145% cpu 8.183 total
java.base at 12-internal
java.compiler at 12-internal
...

but as others are hinting, Linux distros are expected to migrate to
shipping only a full JDK... or perhaps at the other extreme each Jigsaw
module could map to a single deb package, but in that case there would need
to be an install step (using jlink?) where the runtime image is rebuilt -
a lot of release engineering.
