setAccessible() alternative with Jigsaw - feedback on Lookup

[Matej Novotny]

Alan, Remi, Andrew - thanks to you all for the examples/links, I will look into it when I got a spare moment.


Also to answer Alan's previous question:

I inspected the currect code and the defining loader in EE (on Wildfly) was ModuleClassLoader, which is an additional CL on top of Application CL (so its Boot->Ext->App->ModuleCL).
This creates a special module layer in wfly. However, to my knowldege, Weld does not really have control over this. And even if we had, we still need a portable way - same stuff needs to work in, say, Glassfish.
If we are talking Weld SE, than Application CL does the defining (sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader).
Not sure if this is exactly what you asked for, I am relatively new to this and trying to learn more about CLs as we speak.
