Yes.  In both single-module mode and multiple-module mode, -sourcepath 
and -modulepath retain the concept of a path being a series of places in 
which to search for desired content. The "classic" use  case we have 
always had in mind for the JDK build has been the combination of source 
directories, such as "src/share/classes", "src/$PLATFORM/classes", and 
"build/$PLATFORM/gensrc".
