Thanks for the review! Should all be fixed now. Updated webrev:

incremental: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8231111/07/incremental/webrev/
full: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8231111/07/webrev/

Note: I'll go through touched files and update copyright dates to 2020.
Not all have been updated in the full webrev. It'll be done though.

Thanks,
Severin
