JDK-8201219 :  
Description
The client code has a "com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities" class which at some point in the past, JDK 6u10, was used as a kind of "public" API. Currently all its functionality is already provided by the public API, so this class can be removed. 

In jdk10 this class was marked as "forRemoval = true" (see JDK-8187253) and can be dropped in 11.
