Consolidated JDK Forest

JEP 296 - Consolidated JDK Forest as Single Repository

In JDK 9, 8 modules are there which are based on directories named as repos.

• root
• corba
• hotspot
• jaxp
• jaxws
• jdk
• langtools
• nashorn

Code must be written as:

$ROOT/jdk/src/java.base
...
$ROOT/langtools/src/java.compiler
...

After Java 10, JDK forests are arranged into a single repository to streamline development. And now the code must be written as:

$ROOT/src/java.base
$ROOT/src/java.compiler
...
