Heya Florian Thanks for your thoughts.
My understanding of the nuances of GPLv2 is limited, but a layman's summary could describe GPLv2 as "contagious", so it seems best to have all the GPLv2-licensed code tagged as having Classpath Exception just in case they end up "infecting" code that does wind up going into the build, now or in the future. Also, I noticed EquivMapsGenerator.java had the ClasspathException added in JDK10 (in JDK-8193758), so I took that as confirmation of my "best to have it just in case" theory.
