<div class="PlainText">I started trying to use —enable-native-access but ran into a problem.<br>
<br>
I have some (test) programs that I run with many different JDKs. The problem is that giving —enable-native-access to an old JDK is a fatal error.<br>
<br>
Is there some way to perform this configuration that does not crash an older JDK?<br>
<br>
A system property, perhaps?<br>
