It also provides an -jdkinternals option to find dependencies to any JDK internal APIs that are unsupported and private to JDK implementation (see Why Developers Should Not Write Programs That Call 'sun' Packages).

Prepare for JDK 9

Most of the JDK's internal APIs are encapsulated in JDK 9.  JEP 261 specifies the critical internal APIs that remain accessible until a replacement API is available in a future release.  Other internal APIs are inaccessible by default.

...

This jdeps command will output the dependencies in DOT file format and one output .dot file per JAR file.

Replace

...

uses of the JDK's internal APIs

Below lists some of the JDK's internal APIs and the recommended way to replace their usage.   See JEP 261 for the `--add-exports` command-line option to break in the encapsulation as a short-term migration purpose

sun.misc.Cleaner

java.lang.ref.PhantomReference @since 1.2

JDK-6417205 may help with the resource issues that can arise when mapped byte buffers are not unmapped in a timely manner.  Libraries accessing sun.misc.Cleaner have to be fixed as direct byte buffer no longer uses sun.misc.Cleaner class; instead jdk.internal.misc.Cleaner.

    In general, you should avoid depending on a specific provider as it may not be available on other Java implementations. See Oracle security providers documentation for more rationale.

    java.awt.peer and java.awt.dnd.peer

    Instead of doing:

    if (c.getPeer() != null)  { .. }

    could be replaced with:

       if (c.isDisplayable())  { ... } 

    To test if a component has a LightweightPeer, use:

    public boolean isLightweight() ; @since 1.2

    To obtain the color model of the component comes from the peer, instead of doing:

          getPanel().getPeer().getColorModel()

    could be replaced with:

        public ColorModel getColorModel();

     


    java.awt.peer.* and java.awt.dnd.peer.* types are encapsulated.

    API reference to java.awt.peer.* and java.awt.dnd.peer.* types are removed in JDK 9.  See  JDK-8037739 and awt-dev discussion
