JDK9: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred. org.python.core.PySystemState

Solution 1:

The ideal way to resolve this would be to

reporting this to the maintainers of org.python.core.PySystemState

and asking them to fix such reflective access going forward.


If the default mode permits illegal reflective access, however, then it's essential to make that known so that people aren't surprised when this is no longer the default mode in a future release.

From one of the threads on the mailing list :

--illegal-access=permit

This will be the default mode for JDK 9. It opens every package in every explicit module to code in all unnamed modules, i.e., code on the class path, just as --permit-illegal-access does today.

The first illegal reflective-access operation causes a warning to be issued, as with --permit-illegal-access, but no warnings are issued after that point. This single warning will describe how to enable further warnings.

--illegal-access=deny

This disables all illegal reflective-access operations except for those enabled by other command-line options, such as --add-opens. This will become the default mode in a future release.

Warning messages in any mode can be avoided, as before, by the judicious use of the --add-exports and --add-opens options.


Hence a current temporary solution available is to use --add-exports as the VM arguments as mentioned in the docs :

--add-exports module/package=target-module(,target-module)*

Updates module to export package to target-module, regardless of module declaration. The target-module can be all unnamed to export to all unnamed modules.

This would allow the target-module to access all public types in package. In case you want to access the JDK internal classes which would still be encapsulated, you would have to allow a deep reflection using the --add-opens argument as:

--add-opens module/package=target-module(,target-module)*

Updates module to open package to target-module, regardless of module declaration.

In your case to currently accessing the java.io.Console, you can simply add this as a VM option -

--add-opens java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED

Also, note from the same thread as linked above

When deny becomes the default mode then I expect permit to remain supported for at least one release so that developers can continue to migrate their code. The permit, warn, and debug modes will, over time, be removed, as will the --illegal-access option itself.

So it's better to change the implementation and follow the ideal solution to it.

Solution 2:

DMelt seems to use Jython and this warning is something that the Jython maintainers will need to address. There is an issue tracking it here: http://bugs.jython.org/issue2582

Solution 3:

Real issue is a problem in the JDK. There is actually no illegal access, but the JDK method trySetAccessible is misbehaving. This will hopefully be fixed in a future JDK version.

Solution 4:

To avoid this error, you need to redefine maven-war-plugin to a newer one. For example:

<plugins>
    . . .
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.2</version>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

Works for jdk-12.

Solution 5:

Jython developers do not have any practical solution for jdk9, according to this post http://bugs.jython.org/issue2582. The previous explanation seems very long to figure out what should done. I just want jdk9 behaves exactly as jdk1.4 - 1.8, i.e be totally silent. The JVM strength in backward comparability. I'm totally OK to have additional options in JDK9, but new features cannot break applications
