Valerie,

Did you see my comment yesterday?

Since you have reverted the java.security to keep the classname, to avoid causing merge conflict to jimage refresh, let’s remove the META-INF files in the first push and the build change.

The security providers will be loaded via the fallback mechanism (i.e. ProviderLoader.legacyLoad method).  You should keep the ProviderLoader.load method to take the provider name instead of classname.

I’ll file a bug to follow up to change java.security to list the provider name.  This will wait after the jimage refresh goes into jdk9/dev.
