WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred - in the log during ADT startup

[matt]

I'm creating an ADT plug in. When I run my plug-in as an Eclipse Application, I get this message on the console:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by com.sap.adt.util.WinRegistry (file:/C:/Users/MattBillingham/eclipse/eclipse/../../.p2/pool/plugins/com.sap.adt.util_3.10.1.jar) to method java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences.stringToByteArray(java.lang.String)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of com.sap.adt.util.WinRegistry
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

This is not causing me any difficulties, but perhaps it needs to be addressed. I'm using the latest ADT and Eclipse, and it's on-premise.

Hi Matthew,

thank you. We are aware of the issue and are working on a better solution that does not require reflection.

For now, this is just a warning and no Java version is actively blocking any functionality, yet.

Best regards,

Sebastian

Thanks - I was just concerned. I shall ignore the message.
