Where do modules go in jlink images?

[Nicolai Parlog]

 Hi Remi,

but the exact same thing happens when the JDK is linked with jlink,
right? I just now see that the native binaries from the jmod archives
are also present in lib/.

So does that really mean that the jmods folder plays no role for the
running JVM? What is it there for?

 so long ... Nicolai
