I can't spot what text in that bug is about this ....

"accessible" is not "public".
Anyone who found a need for a public API in JDK 7, or 8 should have
submitted an RFE then,
not hack around it and then wait until the module system made it harder
to hack around to ask for it.
The thread that could not be located is this one
https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/sound-dev/2016-November/000493.html
The RFE that exists for this is https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8170518
If there is still REAL interest in this we can take another look but it
would be JDK 24 at this point.

The first is a link to an email
<https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/audio-engine-dev/2007-October/000024.html>
from Florian Bomers on Oct 12, 2007. He thought the class should be
public:

I couldn't find the second link, though. It gives no hint as to where
or when it was emailed. It's likely in a jdk9 mailing list, but those
are extensive and the mail server doesn't have a search function.
If you /really/ need it, and you are okay with hacking your way into
places where you shouldn't be, add --add-opens
java.desktop/com.sun.media.sound=ALL-UNNAMED as a VM argument. Then,
the following forbidden knowledge may work:
Class<?> synth = Class.forName("com.sun.media.sound.AudioSynthesizer");
Class<?> audio = Class.forName("com.sun.media.sound.SoftSynthesizer");
Method open = synth.getMethod("open", SourceDataLine.class, Map.class);
Constructor<?> declaredConstructor = audio.getDeclaredConstructor();
declaredConstructor.setAccessible(true);
Object o = declaredConstructor.newInstance();
open.setAccessible(true);
open.invoke(o, null, null);
It's horrible but it seems to work in my tests. I wouldn't advise
this; reflection to access protected classes is a Bad Idea.

Hi Ithinu,
This message belongs in client-libs-dev mailing list.
I see Dalibor's message, “It didn't get done in time for JDK 9.”
Yet the
link in his message is broken now.
Let's see if anyone has more details.
