JDK-8049422 - Remove @jdk.Exported
Description
The Java files in the com.sun.java.swing package and subpackages do *not* have a jdk.Exported annotation to indicated whether or not those types are intended to be used outside of the JDK.

All com.sun.* files as of JDK 8 should have a jdk.Exported marking to ease the transition to modules in JDK 9.
Comments
As the jdk.Exported annotation type was removed in JDK 9, I think this bug can safely be close now.

Is this still required or can we close this as Not an Issue?

In my estimation, we should have jdk.Exported annotations in both JDK 8 and JDK 9 to allow users to manage their transitions to JDK 9 using the same tool set. For com.sun.java.swing, jdk.Exported annotations should be added to in an 8 update release (as well as JDK 9, IMO).

I don't think this is needed for JDK 9. In our module definitions then com.sun.java.swing is not exported so attempts to use it will fail at both compile-time and runtime. See also JDK-8049422 where we need to figure out what to do with jdk.Exported in JDK 9.
