javafx.embed.swt.* regarded as JDK internal API by jdeps of jdk9-ea135

Hi,
javafx.swt can never be a module loaded by default but we need to
construct a new layer who has the SWT-Bundle-Classloader as the parent.
So no it will not be an automic-module but a named one loaded in a
secondary layer (eg by the efxclipse OSGi-Adapter-Hook) - at least this
is the theory. I didn't have time yet to follow this path yet.

I assume this is just a temporal inconsistency. Therefore, let me ask when it is planned to transfer the javafx.swt module into a proper named JIGSAW module to resolve this. The Eclipse community relies on using the javafx.swt module in an OSGi environment (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=482428), and it would certainly be good if conformance tests could be started as early as possible.
