The addPropertyChangeListener and removePropertyChangeListener methods
defined by Pack200.{Packer,Unpacker} and LogManager methods are
deprecated and flagged with a warning that they "will be removed in a
future release". This is highlighted in the EDR and Public Review of
JSR 337 and also flagged in JEP 162.
I'd like to swing the axe early in JDK 9 so as to give every
opportunity for anything that might have a dependency. There are a few
other modularity related changes that need to go in early too but this
is the only one that involves the removal of methods.
The webrev with the changes is here:

I'm glad to see this hackish stuff go away!
The build changes are mostly fine, however you remove the definition of
BEANLESS_CLASSES_TARGETS but do not remove it everywhere. While it will
work (expands to empty), it would be better if you fixed this line as well:
$(IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR)/lib$(PROFILE)/rt.jar:
$(IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR)/lib$(PROFILE)/_the.rt.jar.contents
$(RT_JAR_MANIFEST_FILE) $(PROFILE_VERSION_CLASS_TARGETS)
$(BEANLESS_CLASSES_TARGETS)
