    • There is no compatibility risk until the provider is actually removed. Solaris support is going away, and this is a feature that is mostly under the hood and not exposed to the end user.

    Description

      Summary

      Deprecate the OracleUcrypto JCE Provider and its containing module jdk.crypto.ucrypto.

      Problem

      The OracleUcrypto provider is a Solaris-specific feature and should be deprecated for removal as part of JEP 362: Deprecate the Solaris and SPARC Ports.

      Solution

      Add a Deprecated annotation with the forRemoval flag set to true to the module-info.java file of the jdk.crypto.ucrypto module. Document that the OracleUcrypto JCE Provider has been deprecated for removal in the JDK Provider Guide and Release Notes.
