The class sun.text.Utility provides several arrayEquals methods, which are used by the classes java.text.MessageFormat and java.text.DateFormatSymbols (and possibly others). These methods are somewhat dubious in that they accept non-arrays. In any case, they're no longer needed because java.util.Arrays provides equals methods. The arrayEquals and arrayRegionMatches methods should be removed and calls to them replaced with calls to java.util.Arrays.equals.
