A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
When evaluating migration of an existing application to Java 9, the --illegal-access = warn flag can be used to report on reflective access to encapsulated classes. However normal, non-reflective access is not reported.
If the application contains third-party libraries, it may not be possible to check for encapsulated class use at compile time. The only approach currently seems to be to run with --illegal-access=deny. This terminates the application at the first illegal use and will not help in location other references.
JUSTIFICATION :
Need listing of encapsulated class usages from compiled code at runtime. The jdps dependency analyzer can help but a runtime report would also be useful.
