Where do modules go in jlink images?

 Hi!

Another question about jlink (guess what chapter I'm working on ;) ).
I've tried to find out where jlink puts the content of the jmods
folder, but hit a wall.

I created a full runtime image with jlink and diffed the file trees
(including disk usage), but all that got me was that my image doesn't
contain bin/jmc, jmods, lib/misssioncontrol, lib/src.zip, and
lib/plugin-legacy.jar - all of that is expected, but where are the
class files from the jmod archives?

Now I wonder, whether these are just ornamental - does lib/modules
contain all the bytecode? I'm confused.

 so long ... Nicolai
