As listed in an open issue in JEP 200:

The jdk.dev and jdk.runtime modules contain miscellaneous tools that do
not obviously belong to any other module; these modules will eventually
be either renamed or refactored.

Currently there are jdk.javadoc, jdk.jconsole, jdk.jcmd modules in
the JDK that are organized around its primary tool.  Such organization
is easy to name, document and understand. This patch proposes to
move tools from jdk.runtime and jdk.dev to jdk.pack200, jdk.jartool,
jdk.policytool modules.

Overall Webrev that will be convenient to review the build change
and modules.xml change.

Separate webrevs for each issue:
1. pack200, unpack200 to jdk.pack200

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk9/webrevs/8074428%2b8074429%2b8074430/8074428/webrev.00/

2. jar, jarsigner to jdk.jartool

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk9/webrevs/8074428%2b8074429%2b8074430/8074429/webrev.00/

3. policytool to jdk.policytool

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk9/webrevs/8074428%2b8074429%2b8074430/8074430/webrev.00/

There are remaining tools in jdk.dev that will be handled separately.
jdk.dev will disappear when all of the remaining tools find its home.
