I am playing around with the compiler (

K2JVMCompiler

) and noticed that I can compile files using the

java.*

packages even if the option

-no-jdk

is used. How can that happen? Surprisingly it works if the host project JDK is version 9 but not with version 8, even though it shouldn't make a difference since the compiler doesn't have access to the host process' classpath (and doesn't log loading any jdk modules as it normally would)

Can you please repost this to #compiler or just create an issue at http://kotl.in/issue
