Description
All sun.misc.* classes are JDK internal APIs that are not supported and should not be used. This issue documents the supported APIs that you should migrate to use.

Use java.util.Base64 @since 8 instead

2. sun.misc.Service	

Use java.util.ServiceLoader @since 1.6	 instead

3. sun.misc.Timer

Use java.util.Timer @since 1.3 instead.

4. sun.misc.RegexPool 

Use java.util.regex @since 1.4 instead.
