I think more context is needed here. I'm generally concerned that this 
is duplicating code and creating a maintenance issue. Also it just 
doesn't seem right for the FX packager to be concerned with the subset 
of the modules that are defined to the boot and platform class loaders. 
If it needs the names of the modules in the JRE build then this is 
something that we can only compute in the build.
