Summary

Remove the deprecated java.security.acl APIs.

Problem

These APIs were initially deprecated in Java SE 9, marked for removal in Java SE 10 and have had a warning in the java.security.acl package summary since Java SE 1.2 indicating that they have been superseded by other APIs. They are not used within the JDK and have no value going forward.

Solution

Remove the deprecated java.security.acl APIs, which were marked for removal in Java SE 10. This includes the following classes in that package: Acl, AclEntry, AclNotFoundException, Group, LastOwnerException, NotOwnerException, Owner, and Permission. Also, remove the export of the java.security.acl package from the module descriptor of the java.base module.
