Description

with java 9, Authenticator getDefault() should be used instead of field.get() (setAccessible fails) + unsafe should be used to define the class instead of the failing ClassLoader.defineClass.

All that with reflection of course and in fallback mode probably since for java 8 it is better to not do it (or it is not available - getDefault() typically).

Workaround ATM is to call CXFAuthenticator.addAuthenticator(); manually and ignore the exception, it initializes the instance then it doesn't fail but the feature is lost until it gets fixed as mentionned before.
