The test shows sun.reflect.Reflection as a removed API seems odd since 
the class is present but not getCallerClass(int).

p.Main is used to check that reference to sun.reflect.Reflection is 
flagged as JDK internal use and not a removed class.  I suggest to 
change it to use another sun.reflect.Reflection API and create an issue 
to follow up sun.reflect.Reflection as flagged as a removed API.
