trying jigsaw-ea-95 jlink

[Sebastian Sickelmann]

I am sorry i haven't tried it before.

It works if i create jmods files with the jmod tool before i use jlink
to create the distribution.
Is is normal, that it doen't work with exploded modules on the filesystem?
Or is it a bug, or missing feature?
