Starting with Java 9 (the same is true for Java 11, just pointing out the first
version that may
exhibit this behaviour) there are at least two important changes:
* modularisation (with the effect that setAccessible() will not work anymore
if applied to objects
from non-exported modules),
o up to and including Java 8 it was possible to force invocation of
methods using
setAccessible() on all objects (unless an explicit security manager
would prohibit this);
starting with the modularization one cannot pass by this restriction;
however, if there are
access rights in a superclass to the desired method/field/constructor,
then using that class
object's method, field and constructor objects would allow invocation
on Java 9 and higher
as well),
* no JRE anymore, the JDK (Java development kit) becomes the new JRE (pure
Java applications can
create an adjusted runtime environment starting with Java 9).

P.S.: For testing various versions of Java on various operating systems a good
place to look around
for it would be: <https://adoptOpenJDK.net/>.
