    Right, the encapsulation will allow you to only access exported
    types.  For internal APIs (not exported), you can't access them as
    they are solely implementation-specific and not supported.


Wondering if pre-existing libraries such as JAI and JAI ImageIO would keep on working under those rules. Will a jar added to lib/ext or the endorsed libraries be subject to the same access control?


I am not aware of any internal SE APIs used by JAI or the Image I/O plugins from JAI.

As to where standard extensions will be installed, I suppose that if jre/lib/ext doesn't exist anymore it would at least break the installers for standard extensions which would need to be rebuilt to work with jigsaw. Problematic for some I suspect.
