JDK 9
9 b107Fixed
Description
Move the functionality of sun.misc.Signal to jdk.internal.misc.Signal.
The sun.misc.Signal and sun.misc.SignalHandler classes will delegate to jdk.internal.misc.Signal as needed.
This allows sun.misc.Signal to be moved out of java.base to the jdk.unsupported module.
Update internal uses of sun.misc.Signal to use the new package.
