sun.misc.GC is not "Critical APIs", as defined by JEP 260, so should be moved out of sun.misc and placed into a more appropriate package, where it can be encapsulated.Since GC is only used by RMI, I proposed to move it to the java.rmi module. Since it has a native component, and no other code in java.rmi has, then a new small native library is required. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8153286/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8153286 -Chris.
