There are indeed some additional problems with JDK9:
- the packages set up alternatives to binaries under jre/bin and jre/lib;
JDK9 no longer has a jre subdir
=> as far as I can tell the binaries in question have also been present
directly under bin and lib (at least since JDK6), so there does not
immediately seem to be a reason for not taking them from there
instead
- JDK9 no longer includes man pages
It may make more sense to give it its own .sh instead, rather than trying
to special-case it in multiple places.
