How to solve InaccessibleObjectException ("Unable to make {member} accessible: 
module {A} does not 'opens {package}' to {B}") on Java 9?

touches on the issue:Using --add-opens should be considered a workaround.The 
right thing is for libraries performing illegal access to fix their issues.

reflection  removes encapsulation: makes every element in a code unit part of 
its APIStrong encapsulation aids in maintainability and security.

The result is a user class that is tightly coupled to the internal 
implementation of the JDK.If enough developers abuse this openness, this leads 
to a situation in which it is difficult or impossible to make changes to the 
internals, because to do so would break deployed libraries and 
applications.This is one of the problems that modules were invented to solve.

I have found:
On app engine there's no need for --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED, 
only on local jetty.This java fix for LinkedHashMap reflection failure is 
probably more worrying:...Field field = 
LinkedHashMap_CustomFieldSerializer.class.getDeclaredField("reflectionHasFailed");field.setAccessible(true);...

 This is because, from Java 9, access to the Java classes has been restricted.

In the case of GWT, if you want exceptions passed back via RPC, GWT needs 
access to the java.lang classes to serialise them to contain all the Java class 
details.
So, you need to add:  --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED  when running.
I didn't know it was not recommended.  Why is it bad to do?

Can you share a little more detail, like the full error message with stack 
trace, and the GWT version you're using? Some improvements were made in this 
area for GWT 2.11, and some messages of this kind are merely warnings, 
indicating that reflection was attempted and some fallback can usually be used 
instead.

SInce upgrading to Java 11,  throwing a new IllegalArgumentException in an RPC 
server-side implementation gives  InaccessibleObjectException. It can be 
stopped by using a VM argument --add-opens, but apparently this is not 
recommended.
Can anyone  clarify ?
