sun.misc.resources claims to contain a ResourceBundle for sun.misc,

the documentation for the supported version format."

These error message appear to not be used, either by the JDK itself,
or elsewhere. I assume that there was a consumer of these at one
point, but has long since been refactored away.

This was used by sun.misc.ExtensionInfo and left behind when 
sun.misc.Extension* classes are removed (JDK-8064956).  Thanks for removing it.

That's right. We wanted to remove these resources in the past but 
couldn't because of the Extension* classes.
