Thanks Richard.  Sorry I didn't see your post before hitting send.

So does this mean there is no workaround for a webstart app that requires a
lot of the --add-export options?

The only workaround I can think of is to set in Java Control Panel with `--add-exports` or `--illegal-access=permits` options.

The long term solution is to request the library maintainer to eliminate their dependency on JDK internal APIs.

I found Alan's video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU8hCCjGSbE> (time:
about 27:35) that goes with the slides pdf link and he mentions the
Add-Exports line need to go in the manifest of the jar with the
Main-Class.  I just now tried that and it still didn't take effect.  I'm
still getting the same error:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class 
com.sun.media.imageioimpl.plugins.pnm.PNMImageWriter
(in unamed module @0x52a256fc) cannot access class 
sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction

sun.security.action to unnamed module @0x52a256fc
   at com.sun.media.imageioimpl.plugins.pnm.PNMImageWriter.<
init>[PNMImageWriter.java:85]

The META-INF/MANIFEST.MF looks like this:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Trusted-Library: true
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Application-Name: TheName
Permissions: all-permissions
*Add-Exports: java.base/sun.security.action*

Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
Main-Class: path.to.TheMainClass
Codebase: *

Name: path/to/a/file.class
SHA1-Digest: thedigest

(many more such class+digest pairs)

Should this work or am I using it incorrectly?

Hi,

I need a little help understanding the difference between "Add-Exports:"
in a jar's manifest vs. the command line arg --add-exports.  I can get
--add-exports to work, but not Add-Exports.

JDK Version: 9 build 181 windows 64

Slide 23 of http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/talks/prepare-for-jd
k9-j1-2016.pdf seems to suggest Add-Exports in the manifest as an
alternative to --add-exports

Our webstart-launched app requires a long list of --add-module and/or
--add-exports command line options.  The list is long enough that it
exceeds a limit on number of args and webstart fails to launch the app with
the popup "too many args to run".

Specifically, I was trying to allow jai_imageio.jar (1.0_01) to access
java.base/sun.security.action by adding 
--add-exports=java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED
to the java-vm-args in the jnlp.  However, that one additional arg pushed
it over the edge and exceeded the limit.

This is the full j2se element in our jnlp:

<j2se  version="1.9+" initial-heap-size="32m" max-heap-size="3072m"
      java-vm-args="--add-modules=java.corba --add-exports
java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.desktop/sun.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.desktop/sun.awt.image=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.desktop/sun.awt.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.desktop/sun.awt.shell=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.desktop/sun.awt.dnd=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.base/sun.se
curity.action=ALL-UNNAMED"/>

I then removed the last --add-exports to keep under the arg limit and
instead added an Add-Exports line to the jai_imageio.jar
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Add-Exports: java.base/sun.security.action

That doesn't appear to be taking affect.  Am I using it incorrectly?

Thanks,
-- Tom
