How(if) the full product is under version control (repos) and how the parts are built are two orthogonal problems. 

I was not distinct enough in my statement. Clearly the jaxp,jaxws and corba repos should be built as part of the jdk makefiles, not before. In particular since currently corba/jaxp/jaxws cannot be updated to use a new jdk feature until the feature has propagated to the default bootstrap jdk, which can take quite a while.

In Jigsaw, they are just three modules out of many built when building the jdk. Their makefiles should reflect this and be based on the same technology as the other module makefiles.

In build-infra/jdk8 we still build corba/jaxp/jaxws before doing the jdk repo. This is probably rather easy to fix, eg ditch the imports and call a submake on those repoes from within the jdk and have OUTPUTDIR point to the correct destination. This would in fact speed up the build, since we would not have zip/unzip sources and jars. I just have not had time to look at it.
