This is from the on-going brainstorming & discussions as part of the bi-weekly hermetic Java zoom meetings:

When creating the final hermetic Java image, jlink would do following additional process:

- Invoke native linker to link an executable
- Stitch together the final hermetic Java executable image

The hermetic Java executable image would have the following (high-level) layout. The modules image would start at page aligned file offset. A suggestion/idea from [~rpressler] was to record the modules offset & size info at the end of the hermetic image, which could be easily retrieved at runtime.

     ------------------------------
     | ... |
     | executable |
     | |
     ------------------------------
     | |
     | modules |
     | |
     ------------------------------
     | offset & size |
     -----------------------------
