Modularizing JDK source code [JEP-201]

As previously mentioned, Project Jigsaw had the goal of modularization. The envisioned standard modular system would be applied to the Java SE platform and the JDK. In addition to efficiency gains, the modular shift would result in better security and ease maintainability. The enhancement detailed in JEP-201 focused on JDK source code reorganization. Let's take a closer look.

Reorganizing the JDK's source code is a significant task and was accomplished with the following subset of goals:

Provide JDK developers insights and familiarity with the new Java 9 modular system. So, this goal was aimed at developers of the JDK, not mainstream developers.
Ensure modular boundaries are established and maintained throughout the JDK build process. This was a necessary precaution so the modular system would be stable throughout Java 9's enhancements and, more specifically, in implementing the modular system.
The third goal was to ensure future enhancements, specifically...
