I've changed the "should not happen" case to be an assert for now but it's in the wrong place. If we have a JDK bug in this area then it should be caught at construction time, not by the accessor method. This PR is focused on removing the use of ReflectUtil so don't want to do any more here.

Can remove this; check is already done in `make` factory.
