Access to jdk.hotspot.agent classes in Java 9?

[David Holmes]

Hi David,

The sun.jvm.hotspot classes have always been a JDK internal API. What 
has changed in Java 9 is that the Java Platform Module System now 
enforces that restriction. To use these classes you must explicitly 
export them when running (and compiling?) your application e.g.

--add-exports=jdk.hotspot.agent/sun.jvm.hotspot=ALL-UNNAMED

You may need to do that for each package you need to access.

HTH.
