GraalVM 22.2 llegalAccessError: class.... in unnamed module

[sdelamo]

Every test project in the GraalVM Test suite 3.6.x-dev which uses GraalVM branch release/graal-vm/22.2 fails with:

86Fatal error: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class io.micronaut.buffer.netty.NettyFeature (in unnamed module @0x684ce74c) cannot access class com.oracle.svm.core.jdk.SystemPropertiesSupport (in module org.graalvm.nativeimage.builder) because module org.graalvm.nativeimage.builder does not export com.oracle.svm.core.jdk to unnamed module @0x684ce74c

Test applications use Micronaut Gradle Plugin 3.5.1

[alvarosanchez]

This was supposedly fixed in micronaut-projects/micronaut-gradle-plugin#507 which was included in 3.5.1 /cc @melix

@sdelamo This should be reopened. SystemPropertiesSupport, the offending class here, is located in the svm dependency. This will no longer be published as of GraalVM 22.3, which only leaves the graal-sdk dependency, so this class will be unavailable.
The used fix here was to switch back to running on the classpath, which is a deprecated runtime mode and will also be unavailable in a future version.

@sdelamo GraalVM 23.0.0 will possibly have a public API to replace the direct access to SystemPropertiesSupport oracle/graal#4862 (comment)

update: oracle/graal#5557
