Getting classloading issues when upgrading to a CP release of JBoss EAP

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

On previous versions of JBoss EAP 6 before CP releases were introduced we included dependencies to classes from modules such sun.jdk.

For example, on EAP 6.2.2 and EAP 6.3.1 I would add a dependency to a JDK Class by adding an extra entry such as <path name="sun/invoke"></path> to modules/system/layers/base/sun/jdk/main/module.xml

On EAP 6.3.2 this breaks and no longer works. Despite the entry in sun.jdk module.xml we get the following error

IllegalArgumentException: interface sun.invoke.WrapperInstance is not visible from class loader
    at java.lang.reflect.Proxy$ProxyClassFactory.apply(Proxy.java:616)
