Description
Summary
-------

Mark the deprecated java.security.{Certificate, Identity, IdentityScope, Signer} classes with forRemoval=true.

Problem
-------

The java.security.{Certificate, Identity, IdentityScope, Signer} classes have been deprecated since JDK 1.2 and superseded by java.security.cert, java.security.KeyStore and related classes since JDK 1.2. It is no longer necessary to retain these classes and they should be removed in a future release.

Solution
--------

Mark the deprecated java.security.{Certificate, Identity, IdentityScope, Signer} classes with forRemoval=true.

Specification
-------------

Make the following change to the java.security.{Certificate, Identity, IdentityScope, Signer} classes:

    -@Deprecated(since="1.2")
    +@Deprecated(since="1.2", forRemoval=true)
