JDK-4819896 - rmic dependency on oldjavac must be removed
Description
Found following 2 files in jdk7 jdk repository are not included in tools.jar.

src/share/classes/sun/tools/javac/resources/javac_ja.properties
src/share/classes/sun/tools/javac/resources/javac_zh_CN.properties

If above 2 are intentionally excluded in build, we should consider removing them from repository to avoid confusion.
Comments
EVALUATION This old chestnut ... Despite the name, these classes are /not/ part of the current version of javac, which is in the langtools repository, in com.sun.tools.javac. These classes, sun.tools.javac are part of a different and much older version of javac, which is retained in part for use by rmic. See 4819896 for the ongoing story about efforts to update rmic so that it does not use these legacy classes. Sorry for the confusion...
