Description
sun.awt.X11.XAWTFormatter and sun.awt.X11.XEmbeddedFrame are the only two classes using java.util.logging.  They only exist the linux and solaris build.

XEmbeddedFrame use of Logger can be changed to use sun.util.logging.PlatformLogger.

XAWTFormatter seems to be for debugging use and it's not used in the jdk source.  This dependency should be re-examined in JDK 9.
Comments
Just curiously why PlatformLogger is better than java.util.logging?
