What exactly do you mean by "3. Build-time solution"? Is it the
implementation of your initial proposal of using
src/jdk.jcmd/$OS/classes/module-info.java.extra?

Currently for me it's no difference which solution we choose - I just
don't want that we break the AIX build in jdk9. So I'll give others a
chance to come up with a solution for 1 to 3 but if this will not
happen until the jake integration into jdk9 I'll propose my
implementation of 4 for review:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151378

Thanks,
