JavaFX itself is:


rt/apps/performance/JavaFX/src/jdk.jlink/classes(It's just an app)

module-info.java.extra from /rt/dependencies/jdk.jlink

module-info.java.extra from /rt/build/modular-sdk/modules_src/jdk.jlink


I don't know what the .extra is all about. I found those by searching 
for all the module-info files from in JavaFX and seeing if there was any 
matches to jdk.tools.jlink.internal.packager.
