#### The reason why it is difficult to solve the issue through modifying
ImageReadFactory directly
1. We only can use the `java8 `api
2. We can not access any classes which are not exported by `java.base`
module,even by using java reflection.Because when there is a remote/target jdk,
the class in jrt-fs.jar loaded by `JrtFsLoader` is actually in `Unnamed
Module`.
The essence of this issue is that when loading the Main class, which depends on
Path.of, then it needs to load CustomFileSystemProvider, resulting in a
circular dependency, which will access the fields of a class that is still
being initialized.
The correct situation should be that Main class should be loaded with
CustomFileSystemProvided, and when it comes to CustomFileSystemProvided it
should use Built-in FileSystemProvider.
But if we following the above assumptions, and when we **first load the main
class**, we will run to the `SystemModuleFinders# findImageLocation` twice
then the `ImageReader imageReader = SystemImage.reader()` will be null because
we should load the customFileSystemProvider during main class loading and the
the both of loading will use the same `SystemModuleFinders# findImageLocation`
method.So we must load the CustomFileSystemProvided **before** loading main
class.
#### The solution
1. In `System#initPhase3` which will be called before loading main class, load
the CustomFileSystemProvided after `VM.initLevel(4);`.Because we will use
**SystemClassLoader**.
2. And we need also to ensure the return value of `FileSystems#getDefault` is
`DefaultFileSystemProvider.theFileSystem`, which depends on the value of
`VM.isModuleSystemInited()`. But now the `VM.initLevel` is **4** so the value
of `VM.isModuleSystemInited()` is **false**. At first I want to change the
judgment condition of `if` . That means I need to create a initLevel after
`SYSTEM_BOOTED = 4`, but there is already `SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN = 5` defined in VM
class.I can not set a `4.5` value to a new initLevel,so I add a new boolen
field to represent the status of loading CustomFileSystemProvider.Its initValue
is **false** and its value can only be set from false to true so there is no
need for lock.
3. Change the judgment condition of `if` to `if
(VM.isModuleSystemInited()&&VM.isCustomDefaultFileSystemProviderLoaded())`
4. After load the CustomFileSystemProvided, regardless of whether the
`-Djava.nio.file.spi.DefaultFileSystemProvider` was set, it needs to call
`VM.setCustomDefaultFileSystemProviderLoaded();`
After loading the CustomFileSystemProvided, the initialization of `Path
BOOT_MODULES_JIMAGE = ImageReaderFactory#Paths.get(JAVA_HOME, "lib",
"modules");` will use the fileSystem which is provided by the loaded
CustomFileSystemProvided. Even it will also call
`FileSystems#getDefaultProvider` , but during where it actually only use the
constructor to new instance because relevent classes were already loaded.
For detail modification see the latest commit.
I recompile the modified source and test the situation mentioned in the
issue(actually the issue is submitted by me through oracle bug submission
because I am not openjdk author) and the normal situation, it successed.
