Method java.lang.Class#newInstance deprecated in Java 9

Switching to java.lang.reflect.Constructor#newInstance.

According to Javadoc for java.lang.Class#newInstance,

"This method propagates any exception thrown by the nullary
constructor, including a checked exception. Use of this method
effectively bypasses the compile-time exception checking that would
otherwise be performed by the compiler. The Constructor.newInstance
method avoids this problem by wrapping any exception thrown by the
constructor in a (checked) InvocationTargetException.  The call

    clazz.newInstance()

can be replaced by

    clazz.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance()
