JDWP.java is the debugger side of the wire protocol and so jdk.jdi is 
the right module for this class.

I haven't been following this thread closely but are you planning to 
move make/data/jdwp/jdwp.spec or the jdwpgen tool? If not then would it 
help if this tool were updated with an option to to just generate the 
source files for debugger or debuggee side rather than both? That seems 
to be your option #2 which I assume would mean running the tool twice.
