There are also a bunch of security libs with j2 in their names - should 
these be renamed too, or will that cause too many compatibility issues?

Simple to fix in the build files, but probably somewhat more difficult 
to coordinate with any necessary changes in external build/test systems. 
:( Might also cause an issue for some that continue to use the same 
"build" logic for 7u and 8u builds - but presumably this change is 
targetted to 9.
