To your original question then the jrt file system provider in the 
jigsaw/jake forest has support for exploded builds, the version in the 
main line JDK 9 forest does not have this support (yet). From the above 
output then it looks like you have a clone of the JDK 9 main line, maybe 
jdk9/jdk9 or jdk9/dev, so that explains that part.

As regards the make target then the README-builds suggests "make all" so 
that everything is built. When you run just "make" without any make 
target then it defaults to developer/exploded builds, this is what most 
people working on the JDK use. I'm not 100% sure why the "install" 
target doesn't build and install the images, Erik or someone in the 
build area can probably say more on this.
