Description
Version 1.4.1
When profiling a Java 10 application I get the following warning message:
Profiler Agent: Waiting for connection on port 5140 (Protocol version: 18)
Profiler Agent: Established connection with the tool
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.netbeans.lib.profiler.server.ClassLoaderManager to method java.lang.ClassLoader.findLoadedClass(java.lang.String)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.netbeans.lib.profiler.server.ClassLoaderManager
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
With Java 11 around the corner, you probably need to address this in the next release otherwise the profiler will stop working. Right?
