[JDK-8195794]: sunrsasign.jar still searched in java 8?

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

I agree that it is most likely low priority. I catched it since for some reason I have a Ant Job which is pretty slow on a VM and when stracing it stats this file multiple times and even worse it reads ct.sym (which I dont know yet whats going on). But I dont think this failed stat() causes my slowness – however it seems to happen repeatingly in some situations.

I can try to propose a patch to hotspot-dev and find a sponsor, I just wont have good means to run Tests.

The lib/classes/ is also a interesting find on the boot classpath 😊

Gruss
Bernd

Hrm...this was (supposedly) fixed/removed on 2003-10-20 for JDK 5...but 
I can't find anything in the old SCCS workspace history to indicate it 
was (old bug id is nowhere to be found).  It's been there ever since we 
migrated to Mercurial.

Anyway, it's gone in JDK 9 as a result of the modularity code changes.

I've filed:

     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195794

Other than a bit of search overhead, I don't think it should cause a 
problem.  This will be a pretty low bug priority bug for sustaining to 
fix, unless there is something I'm not catching.

If someone is looking for a simple bug to learn the process of how to 
contribute to OpenJDK 8, this is a good candidate.  That someone should 
probably followup with hotspot-dev [1], as this is their code.
