Sealed classes and interfaces restrict which other classes or interfaces may extend or implement them. A JEP in the Candidate state is a feature deemed worthy of consideration by the JDK Project, but with no commitment to deliver the feature in any particular release of the JDK Project. Later, the JEP may be moved to the Targeted state, which indicates that the feature is expected to appear in a specific release of the JDK Project. For more information about states, see the JEP Process document: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/1 A JEP with "SE" scope that reaches the Targeted state will be listed in the Specification of the Java SE Platform JSR which corresponds to the targeted JDK Project release. A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this page: https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/17/spec/ Thanks, Iris From iris.clark at oracle.com Thu Apr 15 20:36:55 2021 From: iris.clark at oracle.com (Iris Clark) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 20:36:55 +0000 Subject: New Candidate JEP: 411: Deprecate the Security Manager for Removal Message-ID: The following JEP with scope "SE" has been moved to the Candidate state: 411: Deprecate the Security Manager for Removal https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/411 Summary: Deprecate the Security Manager for removal in a future release. The Security Manager dates from Java 1.0. It has not been the primary means of securing client-side Java code for many years, and it has rarely been used to secure server-side code. To move Java forward, we intend to deprecate the Security Manager for removal in concert with the legacy Applet API (JEP 398).
