New Candidate JEP: 472: Prepare to Restrict the Use of JNI

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been moved to the Candidate state:

  472: Prepare to Restrict the Use of JNI
  https://openjdk.org/jeps/472

    Summary: Issue warnings about uses of the Java Native Interface
    (JNI). These warnings aim to prepare developers for a future release
    that restricts the use of JNI by default in order to improve integrity
    by default. The warnings issued in this release, and the exceptions
    thrown in that future release, can be avoided by selectively enabling
    native access. Adjust the Foreign Function & Memory API (JEPÂ 454)
    to issue warnings in a consistent manner.

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.org/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:
