Hi!
On Java 9 and 10, the JPMS is forgiving when it comes to illegal
access of JDK internals and jdk.unsupported offers classes like Unsafe
or Signal. The same is true for 11-b5.
Are there any plans to change this, i.e. will Java 11 become stricter
before the release? Would --illegal-access get a different default
value or might jdk.unsupported get smaller?
TBD on dialing up the encapsulation of JDK internals, JDK 11 might be
too soon. I'm sure there will be lots of discussion on this once the
time comes.
The only changes to class in the jdk.unsupported module so far have been
the removal of Reflection.getClassClass and Unsafe.defineClass. There
were terminally deprecated (@Deprecated forRemoval=true) so shouldn't be
a surprise to anyone.
