is ClassLoader.loadClass() supposed to work on module-info classes?

I think I've lost you here or maybe the example has teleported.
As I understand the example then code in A (which is in module B) is
trying to use core reflection to access some type in consumer module C.
Assuming the C type is public and in a packaged exported by C to B then
the code in A should be able to access it, it just needs to use
jlr.Module::addReads as Alex said. It may be that B already reads C, in
which case this addReads will be a noop. So no walking objects graph or
anything complicated in this example.
