I am working on JDK-8159528 Deprivilege java.security.jgss, jdk.security.jgss and jdk.security.auth https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8159528
Several questions: 1. How does updating <top>/make/common/Modules.gmk affect an exploded build? 2. I am using Unsafe in two places, once to rewrite a final filed in clone() [1], and another to call unsafe.ensureClassInitialized(KeyTab.class) so that I can call a non-public method there [2], but it seems a platform module cannot use Unsafe. Is there new ways to do these? What I can do now is 1) make it non-final 2) call a method in KeyTab to get it initialized. 3. I thought I can add something like grant codeBase "file://${java.home}/modules/java.security.jgss" { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; into java.policy so I can test with an exploded build. However, I see exceptions on ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "accessClassInPackage.sun.security.util") not granted. The exception is not thrown when I am testing with an image build. Is there any way I can avoid it?
