Module jdk.jlink
Defines the jlink tool for creating run-time
images, the jmod tool for creating and manipulating
JMOD files, and the jimage tool for inspecting
the JDK implementation-specific container file for classes and resources.
This module provides the equivalent of command-line access to the
jlink and
jmod tools via the
ToolProvider SPI.
Instances of the tools can be obtained by calling
ToolProvider.findFirst
or the service loader with the name
"jlink" or "jmod" as appropriate.
jimage only exists as a command-line tool, and does not provide any direct API.
