JDK-8206240 - java.lang.Class.newInstance() is causing caller to leak
Description
If public classes in non-exported packages are instantiated with Class::newInstance then an illegal reflective access warning is not printed.

This is an oversight in the original implementation, no issue with Constructor newInstance.
Comments
This issue has fixed as a side effect of JDK-8206240 in JDK 12.
