Looks okay.  Moving sun.misc.SoftCache to java.desktop is fine.

test/com/sun/jdi/ReferrersTest.java references sun.misc.SoftCache.  I don’t know whether this test finds sun.misc.SoftCache in the reference graph at all.  I suggest to update the test to check “sun.awt.SoftCache” instead and file a bug to the serviceability to follow up if that check is needed or not.
