JDK 8 was feature complete in June and there just isn't sufficient
time remaining to get agreement and feedback on an API to examine the
caller frames. To that end, I propose to restore the old unsupported
Reflection.getCallerClass(int) and that we will look to define a
standard API for JDK 9.
Webrev at:

It remains to be an unsupported API and JDK should not use this method
and it's not annotated with @CallerSensitive. I considered detecting
if this method is called by a system class (loaded by null loader) and
throw an error. I decided to minimize the compatibility risk in case
if there is any existing code added to the bootclasspath depending on
this private API.
Thanks

The Java side is Ok for me.
