Reflection and auto-box warnings - wrt GraalVM about zprint

[kkinnear]

I fixed the reflection warnings in 1.2.9.

I suspect that I can change the form of that toString thing in the next release. I don't actually know why it was done that way originally, but I haven't spent any time getting into it. I've certainly had to work around plenty of graalVM based issues elsewhere in zprint, this would just be one more.

It is interesting that I don't see this error, as I use graalVM to build the executables that I distribute on GitHub. But possibly it is the way I build it with graalVM, in that I tell it to go ahead and build it and complain only if it actually encounters a problem during execution. I am sure that this particular piece of code isn't executed by my tests that put the graalVM images through their paces. I'll see if I can provoke graalVM by some additional testing of the existing images.

Anyway, I'll work on making this better for you. Thanks for reporting it!

I'm sorry to have taken so long to make progress on this, a number of personal issues have gotten in the way.

I have fixed two reflection issues in zprint, and now, interestingly, with the latest graalVM it builds without --report-unsupported-elements-at-runtime, which it did not before. I have several times in the past fixed all of the reflection problems, but I don't routinely search for and remove them -- something that I will add to my release checklist for the future.

I havne't really done much development since the last release, so I'm not excited about a new release just now, for a variety of reasons. That said, I would like to enable you to use zprint if this is blocking you from doing so. Since the only substantive changes are these reflection issues (and a few boxing issues I worked to fix), I could fairly easily produce a new library, say 1.2.9-alpha1 at clojars that included these changes. Of course, they would also be included in the final 1.2.9 as well as any future releases.

Would that be of a help to you?
