FWIW. From the maven artifacts I looked at last year (essentially ran
jdeps), there is only one reference to these 2 sun.misc classes:

Hello all;
This is a proposal to deprecate (Any votes for outright removal?)
No objection to deprecating it but I assume anyone compiling against
it is seeing a warning already (because it's a JDK internal class).
We've historically being cautious about removing classes from sun.misc
(as we know there is code that ignores the warnings). So I would at
least do a quick check to see if there is anything obvious using it.
One other thing is that this isn't the only orphan in sun.misc. Some
time ago I created JDK-6852936 with a list of classes that aren't
used. I wasn't brave enough at the time to try to remove them.

two classes in the private sun.misc package. These are ancient
vestigial classes who's usage has long been eliminated in the JDK in
favour of java.util.Arrays.sort(T[], Comparator) and
java.util.Arrays.sort(T[], int start, int end, Comparator).
