Thanks to everyone who commented and/or shed some light about the situation for

nothing will change as
protected members are still regarded to be public members for subclasses or
objects of subclasses.
In my case that is fine as I have adhered to allowing access to public members
(and protected ones
from subclasses or subclass instances) in the Java bridge.
Being in the process of tidying up various development threads in the beta
version of the bridge
(including adding javax.script/jsr-223 support) of the past two years, I want
to make sure that the
GA-version scheduled for April will be able to be fully usable with Java 9 that
will appear
thereafter (currently in July). Therefore I have been lurking around jdk9-dev
and jigsaw-dev and
reading the informal description
Oracle publish weekly builds [1] of JDK 9 so it might be best to just
run your tests to see if hit any issues.
