It could be prudent to update the class first, check that everything remains stable, and then replace usage in a followup issue. It seems this class is only being used by three tests however - so maybe updating those three tests to use the SimpleFileServer directly won't be too bad. If we do that then make sure we keep the same behaviour = keep the executor as @jaikiran suggested.

Thanks, Now test/jdk/com/sun/net/httpserver/SimpleFileServer.java is removed.
