[FIXED] Java Error with Java16 : java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException

Issue

Existing code is working perfectly fine with JDK11 installed. Same lines of code is throwing below error in JDK16

java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make private static native long[] java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences.WindowsRegOpenKey(long,byte[],int) accessible: module java.prefs does not "opens java.util.prefs" to unnamed module @3f803fae

When code is migrated from Java8 to Java9, WinRegistry.java file is modified with some of the methods' input parameter(s) type from int to long

Solution

Reading/Writing from/to Windows Registry is much simpler with Advapi32Util.java

With this JNA APIs one can easily read the Registry Keys, Values and also can set Registry with new key and value.

I used following APIs to fetch Registry value of a key with path to the registry key as below

Advapi32Util.registryGetStringValue(WinReg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, registry_path, value_of)

Also, the children key(s) under specific path can be fetched from below API

Advapi32Util.registryGetKeys(HKEY root, String keyPath)
