What's the need for this change?  Perhaps I'm missing the bigger problem here. Certainly not having a java.security file is sub-optimal and I suspect very very rare, but throwing exceptions that breaks existing apps seems like a big hammer and would now need a property added to override

Doing this change for jdk-dev only I could see, but as the CSR points toward backporting, that seems more risky
