Are we intentionally using thread context classloader (which can be different
depending on which caller ends up first accessing/initializing the
`java.io.Console` class) to load these services?
I initially thought that `java.io.Console` might be used/initialized early in
the bootstrap process of Java so the classloader could perhaps be
deterministic, but running a trivial Java application with `-verbose:class`
shows that `java.io.Console` doesn't get instantiated during the launch, so
that leaves this code to "first access wins" situation and maybe an "incorrect"
context classloader which doesn't have access the configured `jdk.console`
module may end up causing this code to default to `java.io.Console`?
public class Hello {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
}
}
java -verbose:class Hello.java
Instead, should we perhaps use the ModuleLayer to find this configured module
and then use its classloader to load the `JdkConsoleProvider` service provider?
Something like:
final Optional<Module> mod = ModuleLayer.boot().findModule(consModName);
// ... if not present default to java.io.Console else use the module's
classloader to try and load the JdkConsoleProvider
return ServiceLoader.load(JdkConsoleProvider.class,
mod.get().getClassLoader()).stream()......
