jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.parser to unnamed module

[ivangsa]

What happened?

When trying to run programatically palantir java formatter:

var formatter = com.palantir.javaformat.java.Formatter.create();
formatter.formatSourceAndFixImports(source);

Throw the following exception

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class com.palantir.javaformat.java.ImportOrderer (in unnamed module @0x544fe44c) cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.parser.Tokens$TokenKind (in module jdk.compiler) because module jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.parser to unnamed module @0x544fe44c

	at com.palantir.javaformat.java.ImportOrderer.<clinit>(ImportOrderer.java:111)
	at com.palantir.javaformat.java.Formatter.formatSourceAndFixImports(Formatter.java:260)

What did you want to happen?

Wouldn't replacing com.sun imports with org.openjdk fix this errors?

(I much rather not have to add those jvm args as this is for a cli tool and it will be a bit inconvenient)

I am running into this as well, with JDK21 being the new LTS and excavator trying to push to it.
