FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+135)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
 Mac OS X, 10.11.6 build: 15G1004

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
 On macOS (Mac OS X) getting a screen menu bar, when not running "com.apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel" can only be achieved when setting the ComponentUI of a JMenuBar to an instance of com.apple.laf.AquaMenuBarUI.
Since JDK 9 this is only possible when using "--add-exports" as a workarround.
In contrary it is possible to instantiate javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthMenuBarUI.
Why not com.apple.laf.AquaMenuBarUI?

The screen menu bar is a macOS desktop feature which is common to every macOS desktop application.
    If a desktop application does not have such a screen menu bar it will not be accepted by the user on macOS.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Set another LAF than "AquaLookAndFeel", i.e. UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");
Create a menubar in a JFrame that is a screen menu bar on macOS (-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The menu bar should appear as ScreenMenuBar on top of the display.
ACTUAL -
IllegalAccessError is thrown

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
"Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class ScreenMenuBarLAF$ScreenJMenuBar (in unnamed module @0x3b9797b1) cannot access class com.apple.laf.AquaMenuBarUI (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export com.apple.laf to unnamed module @0x3b9797b1"

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
add "--add-exports java.desktop/com.apple.laf=ALL-UNNAMED", which is not recommended.
