You've put a lot of work into this so let's see > if we can converge to avoid too many more rounds. @AlanBateman @mlchung The latest update now uses the `jlink` build time option `--generate-linkable-runtime` to add needed resources to the `jimage` when a runtime linkable JDK image is being asked for using the configure option. This now runs outside the plugin-pipeline. I think this is what you meant.
