      This property was introduced in JDK 1.4.2 to preserve compatibility with policy files that were not encoded in UTF-8. See https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/compatibility-142878.html for more details.

      Since JDK 1.4.0, all policy files are required to be encoded in UTF-8. It should be very low risk to remove support for this property.
