Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Announcing JDK 9 support for Eclipse Neon

My understanding (from JEP 220) is that these run-time images are created specifically for the JDK/JRE and the IDE is only expected to read these.
User defined modules will either be in source form or JAR form. One of the goals of the JEP 220 is this:

"Restructure the JDK and JRE run-time images to draw a clear distinction between files that developers, deployers, and end-users can rely upon and, when appropriate, modify, in contrast to files that are internal to the implementation and subject to change without notice. "

The way I see it, a Jimage is purely meant to be part of a JDK and nowhere else.

Regards,
Jay

==> The format is not specified but APIs allow to read the content.

Maybe I am wrong, but since we are a Java IDE don't we also have to *write* the content of such files?
