As with the fix for [JDK-8327255](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8327255), we define three new properties to enable `-Werror`, one for each type of java compilation task: sdk classes, test classes (including shims), and tool classes (including JSLC). The defaults for `-Werror` for these three groups are:

That warning is generated because we (necessarily) use `--source 21` instead of `--release 21` for the Swing module, and don't set the location of the system modules.

Probably not in this case. We generally don't refer to the bug ID that added a line of code or a comment.

I will add a comment to [JDK-8334137](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334137) with a note to remove this block as part of fixing it.
