openjdk 9 in ios - any sample xcode project or any sample using JavaLauncher interface?

[Grigory Ptashko]

In the RunJava project I did not find any links to *.jimage files.
How can it be that they are not bundled?
I can understand that this might somehow work in the simulator.
But when building the app for a device where will java runtime take the classes from?
