Summary

Move src.zip and jrt-fs.jar under the lib directory

Problem

Several files in a runtime image are intended for external uses and their path is a committed interface. They are currently placed in different directories in the image.

jrt-fs.jar src.zip lib/javafx-swt.jar lib/ant-javafx.jar lib/$VMTYPE/libjvm.so lib/jexec

The lib directory in the runtime image currently defined in JEP 220 is private implementation. They are not intended for external use and their names, format, and content will be subject to change without notice.

It is proposed to redefine the purpose of the lib directory in JEP 220. The lib directory will contain read-only files that are intended for external use and thus are committed interfaces.

Solution

Move jrt-fs.jar and src.zip from the top level into the lib directory.  We’ll leave javafx-swt.jar and ant-javafx.jar in the lib directory.

Specification

These files under the lib directory in the runtime image are intended for external uses

• lib/jrt-fs.jar
• lib/src.zip
