JEP411: Missing use-case: Monitoring / restricting libraries

[Peter Firmstone]

Would have really liked to have known about that.

Any chance Java 17 LTS (hopefully with sorted security manager 
property), can be supported as long as Java 8, 16 years?

The new security API's don't exist yet, I'd prefer to work with a 
version that has a fully functional SecurityManager rather than one 
that's non functional, because it's the functionality that's important 
to us.

It's going to take a long time to migrate, once the new API's exist, 
they need to receive acceptance, then we also need to rewrite our 
software to suit, assuming it takes 4 years to write and implement the 
new security api, there's not much time left then before 17's EOL if it 
only has 8 years of support.

I figure there's no harm in asking.

Regards,

Peter.
