> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug

> h3. Context
> GROOVY-11906 deprecated {{org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v9.Java9}} with {{forRemoval = true}} and made {{Java17}} the only {{VMPluginFactory}} entry point. GROOVY-12365 later added {{NativeImageMetadataGenerator}}, which still called {{Java9.class.getName()}} to register default-import class lookups ({{groovy.lang.GroovySystem}} and {{groovy.beans.ListenerList}}).
> Those names are loaded through {{GroovyClassLoader.loadClass}}, so they are not constant {{Class.forName}} arguments GraalVM can fold. The generator must emit {{typeReached}} metadata for them.
> h3. Problem
> {{compileJava}} with {{-Xlint:deprecation}} reports two {{removal}} warnings, which GitHub Actions surfaces as annotations:
> {noformat}
> NativeImageMetadataGenerator.java: warning: [removal] Java9 in org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v9 has been deprecated and marked for removal
> addName(Java9.class.getName(), GroovySystem.class.getName(), NONE);
> NativeImageMetadataGenerator.java: warning: [removal] Java9 in org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v9 has been deprecated and marked for removal
> addName(Java9.class.getName(), "groovy.beans.ListenerList", NONE);
> {noformat}
> Separately, {{Java9.checkAccessible}} looks up JDK 8 packages that are now concealed or exported-but-not-open with {{ConcurrentHashMap.computeIfAbsent}}. Callers only test {{contains()}}, so a miss inserts an empty mutable {{HashSet}} into a map that is otherwise filled once at class init.
> h3. Expected
> * Building groovy-core does not emit {{removal}} warnings for {{Java9}}.
> * Default-import reachability metadata is conditional on {{Java17}}, the plugin Groovy 6 actually constructs, and is generated as its own family rather than as a rider on invokedynamic metadata.
> * Unknown module names are not inserted into the package-list maps.
> h3. Proposed change
> * Register the two lookups under {{Java17.class.getName()}} in a dedicated {{defaultImportClassLookups()}} step of {{generate()}}.
> * Replace the two {{computeIfAbsent}} helpers with {{getOrDefault(module.getName(), Set.of())}}.
