Gradle not working on Jigsaw

[Cédric Champeau]

Yes, Gradle, Groovy and other third party libraries Gradle uses are broken
since the changes to enforce strong encapsulation at runtime (preventing
calls to setAccessible). I already raised the concern here, saying we have
no clear idea of the impact of such a change at a larger scale, but it
totally broke our efforts, and that's kind of depressing. We'll figure it
out, I hope, but unfortunately we have no bandwidth to do it now. We're
gladly accepting pull requests, though :)
