Description
SocksSocketImpl has a dependency on java.util.Preferences which is not needed and should be removed as it has an impact on modularity and startup performances.
Comments
EVALUATION Yes, the Preferences API support was an aborted, and never documented, attempt to replace system properties with something more palatable. It should be removed.
