Wait, I confused myself with multiple JDK builds here. This actually
works in JDK 9b113:
Class<?> vmClass = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()
.loadClass("com.sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachine");
Therefore, we are fine at the moment. Is this behavior to stay?
The make file you found is the static configuration to map modules to
the boot or platform class loaders. All other modules in the runtime
image or on the application module path will be defined to the
application class loader. In this case the module is named jdk.attach,
you can see what it exports with this command:
$ java -listmods:jdk.attach
So no changes for existing code. If you ever get to build JOL as a
module then you will express the dependency with `requires jdk.attach`.
