    • A survey on security-dev on its usage only revealed one user (IcedTea's PolicyEditor). Most users edit policy files as a text file directly and policytool does not really provide much additional function.

    Description

      Summary

      Remove policytool.

      Problem

      Policytool is an old tool with a clunky legacy UI and is not widely used. It was already deprecated in JDK 9 with forRemoval = true.

      Solution

      Remove the jdk.policytool module, which contains policytool.

      Remove related man pages and tooldoc.

      Specification

      There are no specification changes.
