RMI will require changes to work with modules. This issue requests that the changes be scoped and sized. It may be that there are only small changes required but it might require some API/javadoc changes too.

Here is one example to consider:

import javax.management.MBeanServer;
import javax.management.MBeanServerFactory;
import javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorServer;
import javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorServerFactory;
import javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL;

public class StubbsGazette {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi://host");
        MBeanServer mbs = MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer();
        JMXConnectorServer server = JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(url, null, mbs);
        server.start();
    }
}


$ java StubbsGazette

In this example then the exporting of the stub fails because the RMI module cannot read the management module. This may be a case where the Core Reflection usage needs to change so that RMI does the access check and suppresses the check (via setAccessible) when creating the stub.
