No, the jigsaw/m2 forest has the changes for the modular run-time images 
(JEP 220), not the module system.

The journey that we on is mapped out in JEP 200 [1].

The modular source code and build is JEP 201 and that went into JDK 9 a 
few months ago.

The current effort is the modular run-time images (JEP 220). This is 
what is accumulating in the jigsaw/m2 forest now. We'd like to get that 
into JDK 9 this year if possible.

Once that is out of the way then it's onto the module system which will 
be another JEP and of course will have a JSR to define it too.
