Mandy,

Thanks, I'll try using that _JAVA_LAUNCHER_DEBUG variable and see what 
output I get.

 From my tests, I saw that my environment worked (a test behaved as 
expected) using a recent 1.7.0 build, but not with the latest Jigsaw 
jdk-modules-image. Printing out the URL for javac's entry class and 
printing sun.boot.class.path seemed to indicate -Xbootclasspath was not 
being handled.
