Description of the problem / feature request:

Upgrade of JDK11 to version 11.0.9.1, 11.0.10 breaks Android desugarer. (Versions up to 11.0.9 work)
Problem is in Desugar.java#L108,
which attempts to set system property jdk.internal.lambda.dumpProxyClasses in static initializer before it is read by java.lang.invoke.InnerClassLambdaMetafactory static initializer. The latter initializer is invoked first.

Target //src/test/java/com/google/devtools/build/android/desugar:desugar_testdata fails to build, with exception:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

While tests

• //src/test/java/com/google/devtools/build/android/desugar:DesugarMainClassTestLambdaDirectoryCorrectlySet, and
• //src/test/java/com/google/devtools/build/android/desugar:DesugarMainClassTestLambdaDirectoryIncorrectlySet

continue to work (because property is set using jvm_opts).
