Some background is in order I guess. I've been reworking a couple of
our projects to support both Java 9 and Java 8, using MR JARs and also
without MR JARs. In the MR JAR case it's been easiest (so far) to
push off the JDK-version-specific stuff into a nonpublic "JDKSpecific"
class which gets replaced under Java 9. However, because the
ClassLoader change requires a new constructor to be called, I actually
have to put the whole ClassLoader implementation into the MR
supplement, which is pretty clunky at best and might introduce some
tricky build difficulties at worst.
Can you introduce an intermediate ClassLoader into the type hierarchy?
The 8 version will just invoke super(), the 9+ version will invoke
super(name). That would keep the JDK-specific code to a minimum.
