If we load the custom DefaultFileSystemProvider by SystemClassLoader,then we will step into the method SystemModuleFinders$SystemModuleReader#findImageLocation again, and the var imageReader will be null.But we can not define a custom classLoader to load the custom DefaultFileSystemProvider since it needs to maintain JDK 8 source compatibility.So the only way that I can think of is to use the installedProvider which has the 'file' scheme to directly get the 'modules' path value. In ImageReaderFactory: private static final Path BOOT_MODULES_JIMAGE = null; static { // check installed providers for (FileSystemProvider provider : FileSystemProvider.installedProviders()) { if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(provider.getScheme())) { try { BOOT_MODULES_JIMAGE = provider.getFileSystem(URI.create("file:/")).getPath(JAVA_HOME, "lib", "modules"); if (BOOT_MODULES_JIMAGE != null) break; } catch (UnsupportedOperationException uoe) { } } } } What do you think of this?I am new to openjdk source development.So I truely appreciate the time you dedecate to my question! ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21997#discussion_r1835713466
