Support for JDK17 (original) (raw)

Describe the bug
It seems that Kryo is currently not compatible with JDK17. When calling the default constructor it fails with:

java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make private java.nio.DirectByteBuffer(long,int) accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.nio" to unnamed module @61322f9d

To Reproduce
Kryo kryo = new Kryo();

Environment:

• JDK Version: OpenJDK 17.0.2 (Corretto-17.0.2.8.1)
• Kryo Version: 5.3.0

Additional context
In my case I am also registering some standard classes.
It seems to work for classes like:

• java.util.Locale
• java.time.Instant
• java.util.HashMap

But it fails for java.util.regex.Pattern due to:

java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private java.lang.String java.util.regex.Pattern.pattern accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.util.regex" to unnamed module @185a6e9

What would be the proper way to fix this?
