You're right about jdk.jre, it lists several dependencies that aren't 
technically part of the "jre". If you look in 
jdk/make/modules/modules.group then you'll see how they are grouped so 
we can fix this quickly (near the end you will see the configuration 
that generates the aggregator modules).

One thing to say is that we hope to check in the module-info sources 
into the repository soon (src/share/modules/jdk.base/module-info.java 
for example). This means the build will be compiling the checked-in 
module-info sources, not the module-info sources generated by the 
ClassAnalyzer (we will probably continue to generate the module-info 
sources in the build for a short term for validation purposes).
