Absolutely not. jlink is used to distribute applications (it includes your code, the Java libs you use, i.e. their jars, and the trimmed-down JVM with the modules you're using so that your distribution is not so big - typically around 30MB).
Java libraries are still obtained from Maven repositories via Maven/Gradle/Ant/Bazel/etc.
