Avoiding sun.misc.Unsafe and embracing modules in Java libraries: missing links

[Rafael Winterhalter]

I do not think that this is possible. If the module containing the
interface does not open a package, I cannot change the privileges of the
main module such that I can resolve a method handle for invoking the
special invocation.

I just tried this out too and I did not find a way, could you suggest how
to change my code for being able to do so?

Best regards, Rafael
