None of what Apple contributed to the Mac port project was part of the JDK. But
legacy Apple Java code still used it. Probably less over time, allowing it to
be phased out. All I was thinking of was somewhere it would still be available
to compile old code. What Alan pointed out would probably provide that if Apple
stops including it with Xcode - if I figure it out. If you look at the GitHub
project the contributors include people you still see active on the openjdk
lists. All I basically need is it there to compile old code I don’t actively
develop.
Alan’s usage sounded a little more critical.
