RFR [JEP 220] Modular Run-Time Images

[Seán Coffey]

Chris,

just a passing comment from me. I've been looking at the extension 
directory changes. Looks like some code, locale resource files, man 
pages and help menus still need updating to remove the ext dir 
references. Is that tracked already ?

The rmic, javadoc and javac tools still have the concept of an extension 
directory.

e.g.
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/m2/jdk/file/tip/src/jdk.rmic/share/classes/sun/rmi/rmic/newrmic/Main.java#l305
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/m2/langtools/file/tip/src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javadoc/ToolOption.java#l70
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/m2/langtools/file/tip/src/jdk.compiler/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/main/Option.java#l187
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/m2/jdk/file/tip/src/linux/doc/man/ja/javac.1

Hope that's expected.

regards,
Sean.
