If the error is that j.l.Object is missing then I will guess that it 
must be setting the bootclasspath and assuming that rt.jar exists (as 
otherwise it should at least start).

More generally, this is a reminder of the challenge that we will have 
moving from the existing legacy image to a modules image. There will be 
code that assumes rt.jar and the existing layout.
