I don't want to comment on trying to mixing different versions of JDK 
modules in the same VM but I'm curious whether your loading of tools.jar 
in the target VM continues to work when you run it on jake and when 
targeting a JDK 8 or older. I would expect it should work as before, 
assuming of course that your custom class loader that is loading from 
the targets tools.jar isn't doing parent-first delegation. The latter 
point is important because a consequence of the JEP 220 work is that 
types that were previously in tools.jar are always visible when running 
a class path application on the JDK.
