Spring boot - An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

I added new two dependencies to my demo application which are spring integration and spring integration file. After that I get the following warning in my console. Application works fine but it bothers me.

How can I overcome this issue?

WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.springframework.util.ReflectionUtils (file:/C:/Users/TECH%20WORLD/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-core/5.3.7/spring-core-5.3.7.jar) to constructor java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup(java.lang.Class)

enter image description here

My project's SDK is version 15.0.2

Spring boot version

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

Added dependencies

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.integration/spring-integration-core -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-integration-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.integration/spring-integration-file -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-integration-file</artifactId>
    <version>5.5.0</version>
</dependency>

This question is answered by the following question! Illegal reflective access by org.springframework.cglib.core.ReflectUtils$1

It is noted that this is a a known Spring bug.

According to the findings this happens because when the new JDK 9 module system detected an illegal access that will be maybe disallowed in the future.

There are further readings... Java Platform, Standard Edition
