Given that the language in SE 8 can assume the presence of a module 
system, we could distinguish in the JLS between a compiler and a 
resolver. I don't really expect it will be useful to do so, however. But 
perhaps experience with how the R.I. compiler talks to the R.I. module 
system will inform this.
