I'm somewhat surprised by the extent of the other changes given the basic
change here is to deprecate the option and change its default. I literally
expected to see only 2 simple changes to the functional code: the deprecation
warning and the changing of the default value.
There are interactions with the archiving of the module graph and boot layer.
Here's one of the mails from the review of JDK-8244778 that has more context:
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2020-August/068159.html
The summary is that, as a short term measure until JEP 396 showed up, we agreed
to have the maps to support exporting and opening packages for illegal
reflective acces archived with the boot layer. Switching the default allows it
goes away.
Thanks for the information. I don't understand enough to know why this
is the case.
Cheers,
David
