This one is subtle is that it was using core reflection to call a 
protected method in sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl. Static analysis with 
tools such as jdeps don't find cases like this. Good to see that a 
solution was found to this.

"bad package accesses", do you mean direct use of JDK-internal classes? 
As you mention security policy then I will guess that these must be 
granting of accessClassInPackage.$PKG because the default policy when 
running with a security manager does not allow direct access to sun.* APIs.

Thanks for sending the mail with your experiences, this is exactly the 
type of discussion we are interested in.
