Make reflection usages work more easily in Java 17+#214
Conversation
And fix compile errors.
With Java 17+, java.lang.reflect functions do not work on modularized code (including core Java library code!) unless the corresponding package of the containing module has been explicitly opened with a --add-opens VM argument. Or unless we hack around it using the SciJava App Launcher's ReflectionUnlocker.

Ach, I forgot that pom-scijava 41.1.0 was not actually a real thing. 😅 This PR will be useful once pom-scijava 42.0.0 is released, though... so for now, converting to draft. |

This patch invokes SciJava's
ReflectionUnlockeras appropriate, to reduce the need for passing--add-opensflags when running code within this project. With this change, only one flag should be required:--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED, which is the flag that gives permission to theReflectionUnlockerto use reflection to do its thing. :laugh:It also updates to the latest release of pom-scijava, as well as updating the copyright blurb year to 2025.
