Rony mentioned "the returned Toolkit is of type sun.awt.X11.XToolkit"
which suggests that he is calling getClass() on the result of
getDefaultToolkit(), and then reflecting further on that Class object
and its Methods. As has been discussed previously on jigsaw-dev, this
won't work for implementation classes; it's necessary to reflect over
exported classes and interfaces instead.

But can you share your code ? - since the following works for me :
import java.awt.Toolkit;
public class TK {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Class tkc = Class.forName("java.awt.Toolkit");
java.lang.reflect.Method m = tkc.getMethod("getScreenSize");
System.out.println(m.invoke(tk));
}
}
~/jdk9b142/bin/java TK
java.awt.Dimension[width=1920,height=1200]

Experimenting with further scripts indicates that this is a systematic

Trying to run a program that gets the screen dimensions using

On a 64-bit Ubuntu the returned Toolkit is of type
sun.awt.X11.XToolkit. Reflectively invoking its
method getScreenSize() causes the following exception to be thrown on
9-ea+134:
java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: unable to make
member of class sun.awt.SunToolkit
accessible: module java.desktop does not export sun.awt to
unnamed module ...
A little bit baffled as this is from a script that has been working
flawlessly throughout more than
a decade on various Java versions and which employs documented public
methods only (the sun.awt
object is returned by java.awt.Toolkit). Is this a known
"legacy"problem :) that I could circumvent
somehow or a bug that needs to be reported?
