Opening the `java.io` package will of course work, but requires all
deployments of Wicket to do so. Maybe there is a better alternative.

I see that `org.apache.wicket.serialize.java.JavaSerializer` is using
`setAccessible(true)` to access the private static method
`latestUserDefinedLoader` in `java.io.ObjectInputStream`. There is a
straightforward way of implementing similar functionality with the
standard java.lang.StackWalker API. If you do this, then the
`--add-opens` can probably be dropped.

Here is an example of such:

    static {
        PrivilegedAction<StackWalker> pa1 =
                () -> 
StackWalker.getInstance(StackWalker.Option.RETAIN_CLASS_REFERENCE);
        PrivilegedAction<ClassLoader> pa2 =
                () -> ClassLoader.getPlatformClassLoader();
        STACKWALKER = AccessController.doPrivileged(pa1);
        PLATFORM_LOADER = AccessController.doPrivileged(pa2);
    }

    /**
     * Returns the first non-null and non-platform class loader (not counting
     * class loaders of generated reflection implementation classes) up the
     * execution stack, or the platform class loader if only code from the
     * bootstrap and platform class loader is on the stack.
     */
    private static ClassLoader latestUserDefinedLoader() {
        return STACKWALKER.walk(s ->
                s.map(StackWalker.StackFrame::getDeclaringClass)
                 .map(Class::getClassLoader)
                 .filter(Objects::nonNull)
                 .filter(cl -> !PLATFORM_LOADER.equals(cl))
                 .findFirst()
                 .orElse(PLATFORM_LOADER));
    }

Remove the PrivilegedAction / doPrivileged stuff if not interested in
running with a security manager enabled.

Let me know if I can do anything further to help.
