java 9 - reflection cannot make constructor private

See original GitHub issue

A Java 9 issue related to reflection. I ran java -jar .../detekt-cli.jar -p . against a simple Kotlin project, using Java 9 (build 9-ea+159):

Thx for the report. I’ve never tested detekt on Java 9 but this seems like a problem from within the kotlin-compiler which will likely be fixed for the Java9 release. I will keep track of this!
