[8u40] Review request for 8065702+8065675 Deprecate the Endorsed and Extension Mechanisms

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Mandy,

this change causes failures in the JCK 8 test
'api/signaturetest/sigtest.basic.html#basic':

Added Annotations
-----------------

java.util.jar.Attributes$Name: EXTENSION_INSTALLATION:anno 0
java.lang.Deprecated()
java.util.jar.Attributes$Name: IMPLEMENTATION_URL:anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated()
java.util.jar.Attributes$Name: IMPLEMENTATION_VENDOR_ID:anno 0
java.lang.Deprecated()


java: Failed. 3 errors

We're currently using JCK8a.

Will the test be updated for JCK8b in time for the release of 8u40 or
will the test be added to the exclude list?

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
