The Stack Overflow topic at http://stackoverflow.com/a/15054600/531762 suggests that they are included in OpenJDK Java 7, but I'm not sure if this is going to continue for Java 8 and beyond.

OpenJDK via the port and I'm not sure that there was any discussion 
about them).

However I am curious to understand how commonly used they and whether 
the usages are cases where standard APIs should be considered.
