Enough technical debt has been paid down that we can now create the new
JDK-specific module as proposed by JEP 260 [1], named jdk.unsupported.
This module will initially contain, and export, the sun.misc package,
and will eventually export the sun.reflect package too ( once it has
been sanitized ). The jdk.unsupported module will be present in full JRE
and JDK images.
And in the modular world it’s necessary to explicitly declare a requirement on
idk.unsupported.
Will jdk.unsupported be "required public" by java.se? Will you have to
explicitly -addmodule jdk.unsupported for class-path programs too?
