JEP 220 was integrated in 2014 for JDK 9 so I'm puzzled as to why this 
is only coming up now. Did you do this splitting with JDK 9 and JDK 10? 
I can't see how this could have worked without either re-running jlink 
or else having your "jre" image including the classes/resources for all 
modules that are in the "jdk" image.
