IllegalAccessError: superclass access check failed

Having the attached sample test.zip (containing images) using the current version of aspose slides 21.6 with Java 16.0.1 (compiler level 1.8, 14 or 16) I run into the following exception:

	java.lang.IllegalAccessError: superclass access check failed: class com.aspose.slides.ms.core.System.Drawing.imagecodecs.jpeg.oracle.OracleJpegImageReader (in unnamed module @0x3a0baae5) cannot access class com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageReader (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg to unnamed module @0x3a0baae5

I use a very simple test application:

public class SlidesApplication {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			try (InputStream licenseStream = new FileInputStream(
					"D:/dev/repositories/sandbox/aspose.slides.sandbox/Aspose.Total.Java.lic")) {
				com.aspose.slides.License slidesLicense = new com.aspose.slides.License();
				slidesLicense.setLicense(licenseStream);
			}

			Locale.setDefault(new Locale("de"));

			String base = "issue3/";

			try (InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(base + "test.pptx")) {
				Presentation presentation = new Presentation(inputStream);
				presentation.save(base + "test2.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
			}
		} catch (Throwable e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

I tried to narrow it down, the exception also happens with: aspose-slides-19.12-jdk16, aspose-slides-20.12-jdk16, aspose-slides-21.5-jdk16, aspose-slides-21.6-jdk16.
But does not happen with older version like: aspose.slides-15.8.0

@phe,
Thank you for the issue description. Unfortunately, I have not managed to reproduce the problem. Could you share a simple project, please?

aspose.slides.sandbox.zip (1.6 MB)

had to remove the aspose-slides-21.6-jdk16.jar due to upload limit.

@phe,
Thank you for the project example. I will answer you as soon as possible.

@phe,
I removed a license file from your ZIP file. Please do not share your license in the future. I added a ticket with ID SLIDESJAVA-38563 in our tracking system. Our development team will investigate this case. I will inform you of any progress.

@phe,
Our development team investigated the issue. As a workaround, you can add
--add-opens java.desktop/com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg=ALL-UNNAMED
to JVM arguments.
A full fix will be available in Aspose.Slides 21.7.
