This looks correct but we need Jim to confirm the bug you spotted ImageLocationWriter.

  59     public static int hashCode(String string) {

and all of other hashCode methods.

Nit: "String name" should work as it matches the parameter in the caller method.  Or `s` might be better than “String string”.

 153     static boolean verify(String module, String name,
 154                 final long[] attributes, final ImageStrings strings) {
 67     private static boolean verifyName(String name, int index, final int length,
 168             final long[] attributes, final ImageStrings strings) {

Nit: some final and some non-final parameters and better to be consistent. Any reason why you mark it “final”?

No need for a new webrev.

Thanks
Mandy
