running Groovy on JDK9

[Uwe Schindler]

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the pointer! I was not aware that my name is on the list of discussion topics. :-)

I will check out how to contribute to the JSR. I have an idea to "relax" this a bit but still not allow loading private stuff. My idea would be that you can read resources and class byte code from exported packages, but not from hidden packages. This would hide resources/class files in jdk.internal packages, but it would allow code to load resources (or class files) from java.lang or similar.

Uwe
