    Description

      The replacement for Reflection.getCallerClass has non-small API and implementation work (JDK-8020968). Due to the late game for JDK 8, adding a new supported API at this time doesn't allow adequate time to get community and existing frameworks depending on Reflection.getCallerClass to try out and give feedback.

      Propose to restore sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass in jdk8 and define a proper SE API in JDK9.
