The JDK-specific MBeans are in the com.sun.management package, exported 
by the jdk.management module.  The sun.management.* classes have always 
been JDK-internal implementation classes and were never mean to be used 
directly by code outside of the JDK. Directly referencing these classes 
would have been a warning at compile prior with JDK 8 and older. It 
changed an error at compile time in JDK 9.
