There is no SSLExplorer in OpenJDK. I think, maybe, the map is not
belong to OpenJDK either.

I think, the constants for HTTP2 is also belong to application protocol
(HTTP2) layer.  Application (HTTP2) implementation would take care of
them.  Maybe, they are not a part of JSSE framework either.

I would like to have "h2" and "http/1.1" defined as Standard Algorithms
Docs as we usually did for other standard constants.

But, looking forward, per JSSE framework, SSLParameters should be the
central place to define SSL/TLS configuration parameters. We'd better
follow the conventions so that application developers won't get confused
about where SSL/TLS parameters should be configured.

Maybe, we cannot add public APIs for backporting. I think backporting is
another history, and would better not impact too much of the design for
JDK 9 and future releases.

Hope it helps!
