This is troubling news. My proposed refactoring of TaskManager to enable performance tuning depends on the assumption that, as a com.sun.* class, it is only used within the project.

In general, we will be severely limited in our ability to progress if we have to treat all public com.sun.* interfaces as external interfaces.

I vote against such an incompatible change.  There are a lot of
classes under there, for example com.sun.jini.thread.TaskManager,
that are utility code employed by downstream developers.  I think all
new code should go elsewhere if possible, but changing the existing
com.sun.jini packages would be hard on existing users.

River imported packages of code from the original Sun grant under the
 name 'com.sun.whatever'.

How important is it to change that?
