Thanks.

To do general changes in JDK8 we will have to provide some of those static methods, say in a class in sun.misc as a temporary solution until Jigsaw is merged back. e.g.

package sun.misc;

// This class will be removed after the Jigsaw code base is pushed to JDK8 and classes that depend on this class
// and its methods will be updated to utilize the equivalent Jigsaw functionality
public class Platform {
  public static boolean isModuleMode() { return false; }
}
