Error description

  • Error Message: java.lang.BootstrapMethodError:
    java.lang.IllegalAccessException: '...' no access to: '...'

Local fix

Problem summary

  • MethodHandles access checking did not match conventional lookup,
    which caused it to be too restrictive. Specifically, access to
    protected nested classes was not permitted from another package.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JVM has been updated to permit MethodHandle access to
    protected classes in other packages.
    .
    This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
       8    SR3       (8.0.3.0)
    .
