JSR 399 (Java SE 24): JEP Proposed to Target: 486: Permanently Disable the Security Manager

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 24:

  486: Permanently Disable the Security Manager
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/486

  Summary: The Security Manager has not been the primary means of
  securing client-side Java code for many years, it has rarely been used
  to secure server-side code, and it is costly to maintain.  We therefore
  deprecated it for removal in Java 17 via JEP 411 (2021).  As the next
  step toward removing the Security Manager, we will revise the Java
  Platform specification so that developers cannot enable it and other
  Platform classes do not refer to it.  This change will have no impact
  on the vast majority of applications, libraries, and tools.  We will
  remove the Security Manager API in a future release.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Fri 8 Nov 20:00 UTC:

If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved
to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in
the specified release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states,
see the JEP Process document:
