de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException when starting application

Spring Boot mongodb version: 2.5.3 flapdoodle version: 3.0.0 JDK 16

I noticed the following exception on application startup when running my unit tests with the embedded mongodb:

java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private final long java.lang.ProcessImpl.handle accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.lang" to unnamed module @71a794e5

This exception does not seem to have any significant impact since the application continues to start and the tests run fine, but I am wondering where it comes from and how I can get rid of it?

I’m experiencing the same exception using JDK 17 LTS
