JDK 8 code review request for JDK-8025913 - Rename jdk.Supported to jdk.Exported

[Joe Darcy]

Hello,

Per previous discussions on the mailing list, we've decided to rename 
the annotation type "jdk.Supported" to "jdk.Exported".

Other than the file rename, the changes to the contents of the type are 
below:

  /**
-  * Indicates whether or not a JDK specific type or package is a
-  * supported part of the JDK.
+  * Indicates whether or not a JDK specific type or package is an
+  * exported part of the JDK suitable for use outside of the JDK
+  * implementation itself.
    *
    * This annotation should only be applied to types and packages
    * <em>outside</em> of the Java SE namespaces of {@code java.*} and
    * {@code javax.*} packages.  For example, certain portions of {@code
    * com.sun.*} are official parts of the JDK meant to be generally

      boolean value() default true;
  }

The webrev

     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8025913.0/

also contains the update for replacing all previous uses of 
jdk.Supported in the langtools repo with jdk.Exported. The Supported 
annotation type was not applied outside of langtools.

Rebuild of langtools with this change and a clean build of the jdk both 
worked fine.

Thanks,
