I'm sure this topic has arise sooner here... but PPAPI is being considered...
lot of oraganizations relies on Java applets for key based authentication and
is a very important deal...
If you can clear me on what's the future of applets fron open JDK perspective i
will appreciate it.Greetings

You can find the plans for JDK 9 at
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ . The plans for JDK 8 Updates are
linked off the Project page of the corresponding JDK 8 Updates Project
in the OpenJDK Community at http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/ .
The corresponding Project's mailing list, jdk8u-dev, is the right place
to ask questions about JDK 8 Updates in OpenJDK. The JDK 8 Project has
completed its work with the JDK 8 GA a while ago, so this list is
largely dormant.

The separate Mercurial forests existed for the convenience of developing
multiple releases with a large number of changes and features in
parallel within a single OpenJDK Project (just as was the case for the
JDK 7 Updates Project, fwiw).
For reasons discussed back in July, the JDK 8 Updates Project in OpenJDK
no longer needs to do that. Accordingly, the jdk8u master and dev
forests are adequate for our current needs. Please see
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2015-July/003985.html
for details.
If for some reason you strive to create your own build process for JDK 8
Updates, I'd suggest subscribing at least to the jdk8u-dev, jdk9-dev and
build-dev mailing lists.
Instructions for checking out the code for the latest release developed
within the JDK 8 Updates Project in OpenJDK can be found on the
Project's web page. Please keep in mind that CPU releases like 8u51 are
not developed within OpenJDK Projects.
> In addition the fact that the bug system is locked down
Please consult the "Account Eligibility" section of
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/general/JBS+Overview for the facts.
If you are not eligible for an account on JBS, because you're not an
OpenJDK developer with an adequate role, you may still file issues
through the web interface at bugs.java.com.
> The following patch fixes this
Please see http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/ for how to contribute to
OpenJDK Projects, and note in particular the requirements spelled out in
section 0.
Of particular note for the contribution flow to the JDK 8 Updates
Project is that changes to it will typically go through JDK 9 first.
So once your organization meets the requirements spelled out in the
guide above, I'd suggest adjusting, testing and sending your proposed
patch as plain text within an e-mail to the build-dev mailing list for
JDK 9 first. Once it has been reviewed and pushed there, then you can
follow up with a backport for the JDK 8 Updates Project. Details on the
backport process can be found at the JDK 8 Updates page linked above.

Unfortunately, I don't see your organization listed at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/oca-486395.html so I'd like
to again refer you to the guide for contributing to OpenJDK linked above.
