JDK-8047775 - Audit JAX-WS and SAAJ, scope out API/other changes that might be needed to work with modules
Description
The JavaBeans Activation Framework isn't currently usable on a small truly headless environment due to its dependency on java.beans.Beans. It would be desirable to make use of JavaMail on an embedded system that only has the base and a small number of modules linked in.

This Enhancement requests that (we think little used) javax.activation.CommandInfo be re-visited to drop the static dependency on java.beans.Beans.

See JDK-8037485 for related work to refactor the datatransfer API out of the desktop module.
Comments
The changes will be brought into JDK 9 via JDK-8164479.
