Description

Several deprecated security APIs have been marked with forRemoval=true to indicate they will be removed in a future release of Java SE. However, it has since been reported that some external applications/code are still using some of these APIs, and there is concern that there may not be enough advance notice to adapt their code to transition away from these legacy APIs and/or replace them with newer APIs before they would be removed.
