JDK 8 dependency

[Richard Bair]

Hi guys,

To help the JDK 7 back port effort, I wanted to bring up a JIRA issue which will have some impact on that back port to both let you know the issue and see what you think about it. Basically, until we fix this issue, the JDK cannot remove some code that they are planning to remove in 8. I think this is a place where the back port will need to have some patch to basically undo what I'm about to do :-)

We can carry on the discussion in this bug.
