Make getters public in two public classes.
Comment From: sbrannen
Can you please provide the rationale and a concrete use case for the proposed changes?

Hi @sbrannen ,
I work on a proprietary product that uses Spring Batch as an ETL component in a suite. This ETL component has a custom copy of org.springframework.batch.item.database.JdbcBatchItemWriter as well as a subclass. This does all sorts of magic specific to our product. This code needs access to various bits and pieces of the Spring object tree which is currently achieved via reflection (nasty) which would be better served via public and protected APIs (nice.) I hope this helps clarify things.
Thank you, Gary

Thanks for the PR but we're not keen to expose APIs like that, see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/pull/23766#issuecomment-1257728214
