java.lang.IllegalAccessException

- Packages that use IllegalAccessException
  Package | Description
  --- | ---
  java.lang | Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
  java.lang.invoke | The `java.lang.invoke` package contains dynamic language support provided directly by the Java core class libraries and virtual machine.

  java.util | Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).
  javax.swing | Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms.
