Externalize strings error [message #1857889]

I am running :

Version: 2022-12 (4.26.0)
Build id: 20221201-1913

When I use the "Externalized Strings" function the generate Messages class has the following error for the indicated lne.

private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = Messages.class.getPackageName() + ".messages"; //$NON-NLS-1$

the method getPackageName() is undefined for the type Class<Messages>

I'm new to the forum and wondering if this is the right place for the question and if there's some secret sauce needed to make the function work.

Appreciate any help.

That Class method is new to Java 9

     * @since 9
     * @jls 6.7 Fully Qualified Names
     */
    public String getPackageName() {

I guess someone change the implementation and didn't consider that this method is not always available. I guess you can change it by hand to hard code the package name...

Thanks.

Do you think it should be raised as a bug or incompatability?
