Java9 JNLP --add-opens not working

I have created a simple test case to test Java 9 Web Start with the new modules. Unfortunately, Java 9 Web Start does not by default support --permit-illegal-access like regular Java 9 does.

Java 9 Web Start is suppose to support --add-opens (see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8172986).

I'm using Java 1.9.0_181_ea.

Here is my test class:

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.IllegalAccessException;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

public class Java9BreaksWhenTest {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException {
       System.out.println("Hello World");

       // Do some dangerous reflection
       Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
       Class c = toolkit.getClass();
       while(true) {
           Method m = null;
           try {
               m = c.getDeclaredMethod("setDesktopProperty", String.class, Object.class);
           } catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
               c = c.getSuperclass();
               if (c!=null)
                   continue;
           } catch (SecurityException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
           }
           if (m!=null) {
               m.setAccessible(true);
               m.invoke(toolkit, "awt.font.desktophints", null);
               System.out.println("desktop Properties changed.");
           }
       break;
       }
   }
}

Here is my JNLP file which should make java.awt code able to accessible.

   </resources>
   <application-desc main-class="Java9BreaksWhenTest">

</jnlp>

This seems inline with what is discussed here (How to pass the Java 9 '--permit-illegal-access' flag to a Webstart application?). However, it does not work. Running it under Java Web Start I get the following error:

It is unclear to me where my error is and why java.awt.Toolkit is not available to use via Reflection.
