Yes for build tools but not sun.tools.** in general (the change to
sun.tools.tree.Node wouldn't have been required otherwise).
In any case, the main point is that any usages of new APIs need to be
caught when compiling them as they would otherwise be more difficult to
diagnose if rmic were to fail in the build. From what I can see then it
looks right.
