It is possible in JDK8 and before to run JSR199 compilations using a 
class loader that loads from tools.jar. I can't do something similar in 
JDK9 using a new jigsaw build, trying to load from jrt-fs.jar. I get 
this: Warning: Cannot use jsr199 Javac from jrt-fs.jar".

Does this mean you can only use the JSR199 as provided by 
ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() of the current process in JDK9?
