This is true, except for the modules, the other listed projects are `apps` and `systemTests`, neither of which are actual Gradle projects. Is this correct behavior? Why are they Gradle projects?

@nlisker : 
regarding the project name 'rt' and the directory name 'jfx' created by git clone - there is a historical reason why the directory name should in fact be 'rt' and not 'jfx', @kevinrushforth could you please explain?

I know the likelihood of any changes to the git project configuration is zero, but perhaps we need to have some explanation of the discrepancy in the name.
