Paul King updated GROOVY-12383:
-------------------------------
Description:
Involves: a MODULES_AVAILABLE flag in the Java9 code, a guard around the static
initialiser that walks ModuleFinder, and three accessibility methods delegating
to the Java 8 versions when the flag is off. One catch: GROOVY-11906 deprecated
Java8, Java9, Java10 and Java16 for removal and left only Java17 live, so this
should land in whatever shape that collapse takes, or it becomes churn twice.
Impact on normal usage: none, the flag is always true on a JVM. The cost is one
reflective lookup at plugin initialisation.
> VM plugin: fall back to Java 8 accessibility rules when the module system is
> absent
