cannot access class jdk.internal.ref.Cleaner (in module java.base) because module java.base does not export jdk.internal.ref to unnamed module

The cleaner is in the class "Cleaner" in the package "jdk.internal.ref" in the module "java.base" and my own module is unnamed. Then, I tried to pass "--add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED" to the command "java" but I get the following exception:

You've put the --add-exports option after your main class on the command 
line, try place it before the main class so that it's considered as an 
argument to the java launcher rather an argument to your main class.

One other thing to point out if that jdk.internal.ref.Cleaner is a 
Runnable so you can at least stay in the world of standard types.
