Your guess was correct Alan (my english isn't perfect).
Yes my distorted question was whether it should be possible to
"upgrade" Jigsaw module with automatic module.

Few more questions:

  * Module java.se.ee defines list of upgradeable modules (related to EE).
    Is it enforced by JDK (at both compile time and runtime)
    only upgradeable modules can be upgraded?
    There are no other upgradeable modules except
    those listed in java.se.ee, right?
    Or one could upgrade any module not provided by Boot loader?

  * Both AppClassLoader and PlatformClassLoader don't override
ClassLoader.getResource(String) method which fallbacks to NOOP
ClassLoader::findResource(String). Shouldn't they implement it?

I'm asking because I upgraded JAXB module locally with automatic module.
There's

META-INF/services/javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext

provided there but resourceLookup doesn't work.
