--- Comment #9 from René Vincent Jansen <rv...@xs4all.nl> ---
Having been bitten by this last night in JDK 19ea it might be good to advertise
this fork=yes a bit more, and as a workaround, maybe release a version that has
the default on fork=yes for the java task, as to limit the damage (which for me
was a few hours of poking around to find this bug database and reading the
not-so convincing correspondence with the Java security team.

I maintain the NetRexx compiler and we were impacted heavily by the not really
compatible JPMS changes in Java 9. Now this again ... why just not nop-out the
implementation and leave people with their own security managers if they want
to. I know that the Ant team also must be impacted by this and really cannot
help this. But seeing that this was known for half a year at least (we from
NetRexx never noticed warnings because we had to compile under Java 8) I think
the time to fix this has come, or paste it over the front page of the Ant
website in chocolate characters.

So for clarity my request: if fixing is hard, please put out a release with
fork=yes as a default to save people some time.
