The two management modules are:

java.management - exports the standard/Java APIs: java.lang.management 
and javax.management.**. This module also has the JMX agent.

jdk.management - this exports the JDK-specific API com.sun.management.

It's possible to create a run-time image that has neither, both, or has 
java.management but not jdk.management.

We just need to make sure that VM handles all cases gracefully.
