Summary

Deprecate for removal Java Packager packages (jdk.packager module) that we currently export.

Problem

We want to deprecate (and remove it in the future releases) the following Java Packager packages that we currently (in JDK9) export:

jdk.packager module \ module-info.java:

exports com.oracle.tools.packager; 
exports com.sun.javafx.tools.packager; 
exports com.sun.javafx.tools.packager.bundlers; 
exports com.sun.javafx.tools.resource; 

The API is not trivial and is not well documented. Instead of that, we plan to introduce a ToolProvider support. The main benefit of this is to be able to remove the legacy API in JDK 11.

Solution

Deprecate (for removal) all classes from the packages com.oracle.tools.packager, com.sun.javafx.tools.packager, com.sun.javafx.tools.packager.bundlers and com.sun.javafx.tools.resource from jdk.packager module.

Deprecate the following classes for removal:
