Yes, nice.
I like the fact that Exported is annotated by itself :)

Hello,
Per previous discussions on the mailing list, we've decided to rename the annotation type
"jdk.Supported" to "jdk.Exported".
Other than the file rename, the changes to the contents of the type are below:
/**

- * supported part of the JDK.
+ * Indicates whether or not a JDK specific type or package is an

The webrev
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8025913.0/
also contains the update for replacing all previous uses of jdk.Supported in
the langtools repo with jdk.Exported. The Supported annotation type was not
applied outside of langtools.
Rebuild of langtools with this change and a clean build of the jdk both worked
fine.
Thanks,
