Done. I think I haven't broken anything, but we'll see once CI is through. I'll try to keep a closer eye on commits in the future, at least when new files are added.

If so the easiest solution probably is to replace them with ports of the corresponding code of the late Apache Harmony project, likely somewhere below https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony/enhanced/java/trunk/classlib/ Stefan
