(11) RFR (S) JDK-8196601: IllegalAccessError: cannot access class jdk.jfr.internal.handlers.EventHandler

[Karen Kinnear]

Lois,

Looks good. Thank you for doing this. With reflection and internal signature handling, the backward compatibility
model is that we do not perform the access check when returning a reflection field or reflection method or performing
internal signature processing. The access checking is done when actually performing the access of
the reflected field or method etc. So I believe this should match the backward compatibility requirements.

thank you so much,
Karen

Testing exposed the issue where a call to getDeclaredFields resulted incorrectly in an IllegalAccessError.
