Description

Calling findClass( cls, "java.se.ee") in IsolatedClassLoader does not help and does not do anything because the module is ignored in Java 9.

In-plugin provider does not have any problem to load classes from entire JDK.

Forked JVM would work only after added
<argLine>--add-modules java.se.ee</argLine>

The fix would be to add "-add-modules java.se.ee" if -add-modules is not specified by user at Java 9+.
