Filling the Packager gap

[Johan Vos]

Hi Ty,

Apart om jdk.jlink, who else is exporting jdk.tools.jlink.internal.packager
?
If that is the case, there must be something wrong.
The 12-sandbox version also exports that package:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/sandbox/file/6972c0e75e23/src/jdk.jlink/share/classes/module-info.java
