I'm still quite nervous about even including this in 8u, so I would definitely wait until it has had more time to soak there before considering it for 7u. I'll be reviewing JDK-8233228 for 8u shortly and it'll very likely be in 8u292. I wish there was a way of working around the need to move the classes into rt.jar, but I can't see one, other than duplicating the code and having to maintain two copies.
