-------------------------------------------------------------

Since JDK 11 won't have Unsafe.defineClass anymore, we need to use MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass instead, which exists since JDK9

> with java 9, Authenticator getDefault() should be used instead of field.get()  (setAccessible fails)  + unsafe should be used to define the class instead of the failing ClassLoader.defineClass.
> All that with reflection of course and in fallback mode probably since for java 8 it is better to not do it (or it is not available - getDefault() typically).
> Workaround ATM is to call CXFAuthenticator.addAuthenticator(); manually and ignore the exception, it initializes the instance then it doesn't fail but the feature is lost until it gets fixed as mentionned before.
