For those who are not aware of the jdeps tool:

jdeps -jdkinternals will flag static references to JDK internal
APIs and output some suggestion if a replacement API is known
like this:

JDK Internal API                         Suggested Replacement
----------------                         ---------------------
com.sun.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier         Use javax.net.ssl @since 1.4
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider    Use 
java.security.Security.getProvider(provider-name) @since 1.3

Run jdeps on your libraries to find out any use of JDK internal
APIs.
