Is there really a jdk.proxy1 module?

[Remi Forax]

No cycle is a property checked at compile time not at runtime.
Having cycles at runtime is not a big deal, when have cyclic class dependencies since a long time now,
At compile time, it's problematic because it means that you have to compile both modules at the same time defeating the idea that a module is a sigle compilation unit.
