This is a follow-up to this discussion in the Quarkus tracker: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/45537#issuecomment-2587715601 .

In the Quarkus project, @zakkak is leading an effort to allow throwing exceptions when GraalVM/Mandrel tries to do reflection calls on elements that were not registered for reflection. This effort leads to all sort of discoveries and in the issue above we discovered that Jackson tries to collect information on java.* classes, which should probably be avoided: these classes can't be annotated with Jackson classes and they are well known so we could probably hardcode what's needed.

We are having this issue with at least AnnotatedFieldCollector/AnnotatedMethodCollector/AnnotatedCreatorCollector. There might be others.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, we should avoid dynamically resolving this information for java.* classes.
