How to browse contents of another Java 9 installed JRE?
With Jigsaw, the storage layout of a module is an internal implementation detail. Unlike with JARs in earlier versions of Java, there's no supported way to read the modules of a Java 9 install except via the "jrt:" protocol and its filesystem provider. Those approaches can only access the modules of the currently running VM. For other installed JREs, http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-January/004145.html has some discussions and a preliminary solution. However, the proposed hack doesn't solve the problem when trying to access another install when already running in Java 9 (because then, the local "jrt" protocol implementation wins).
