When we have all modules only in a single file, this file will never be the same between all containers and can never be shared. Then sharing common parts requires to convert non-shared modules in non-optimized modular JAR (blurring target of Jigsaw).

I believe that this behavior can differ from storage driver to storage 
driver. OverlayFS works on the file level, while the storage drivers for 
ZFS, btrfs, devicemapper etc. seem to work on the block level.
