Pull parser for jmod packages

[Paul Sandoz]

Hi

At the moment the reader of jmod packages, org.openjdk.jigsaw.ModuleFile.Reader, is tightly bound to reading a module file and extracting out the contents into a directory (and tightly bound to the implementation details of the library contents).

How about we develop a module file pull parser?

Such a parser can then be used by "jmod install/extract" [1] and by other tools, for example IDEs to more easily extract out the class file contents for analysis.

Paul.

[1] Arguably "jmod extract" should be "jpkg extract"
