The methods added to ReflectionFactory are used as replacements for the
use of setAccessible to access private methods specific to serialization.

The risk is minimal for JDK 8.
  The new methods have been implemented in JDK 9 and are used by the JDK 9 IIOP implementation.
  Tests for the new APIs are included in JDK 9 and are included in the backport.
  To minimize risk to JDK 8, the IIOP implementation is not modified.
