AW: [JDK-8153077] JNLP example with -XaddExports

[Reto Merz]

Thanks Alan for clarify the syntax, it works!

This was just an example. At the moment we just want to evaluate some basics with Java 9 + Webstart.
In our real world application we use these classes from sun.security.*

    sun.security.util.DerValue
    sun.security.x509.AVA
    sun.security.x509.AlgorithmId
    sun.security.x509.CertificateAlgorithmId
    sun.security.x509.CertificateIssuerName
    sun.security.x509.CertificateSerialNumber
    sun.security.x509.CertificateSubjectName
    sun.security.x509.CertificateValidity
    sun.security.x509.CertificateVersion
    sun.security.x509.CertificateX509Key
    sun.security.x509.RDN
    sun.security.x509.X500Name
    sun.security.x509.X509CertImpl
    sun.security.x509.X509CertInfo
    sun.security.x509.AVA
    sun.security.x509.CertificatePoliciesExtension
    sun.security.x509.CertificatePolicyId
    sun.security.x509.PolicyInformation
    sun.security.x509.X500Name
    sun.security.x509.X509CertImpl
    sun.security.x509.X509CertImpl

I am not the owner of this code and I dont know what exactly is does, it is beyond me.
As far as I know the public JRE API and bouncycastle lib does not provide some functionality needed to support some Smartcards and SuisseID.
