Hi.
I believe that you should remove deprecated javax api's. By delaying it, you are pushing the problem into 2022.
If they are removed now then it will force developers to use the correct crypto api's, rather than using a mixture which is what's currently happening.
The compatibility problem for historic code can fixed by an optional 3rd party library/module.
Cheers
Paul

Hi,
Thank you all for the review.
This is a note to cancel this update. During the review, we got
concerns about the compatibility impact about the removal of the
interface method (SSLSession.getPeerCertificateChain()). Maybe, I
should move forward to resolve the concern first, and then come back for
the removal in a few years.
For more details, please refer to the new code review request:

Hi,
Could I get the following update reviewed?
CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8227395
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~xuelei/8227024/webrev.00/
The legacy javax.security.cert APIs and the dependent were initially
deprecated in Java SE 9 and marked for removal in Java SE 13.
Applications should use the java.security.cert APIs for now. This is
a request to remove the deprecated javax.security.cert APIs.
The use of the legacy APIs should be rare now. But please let me know
if you have concerns before March 19, 2019.
Thanks & Regards,
Xuelei
