These were not really private internal api’s but platform specific
functionality that Apple made available to developers. That up to now have been
included in openjdk runtimes for OS X. Although I think documentation may of
gotten a little more difficult to find. Are these api’s to be continued or
discontinued?
The com.apple.eawt (and a few others) did come into OpenJDK as part of
the OS X port. Unfortunately the supportness has always been murky.
AFAIK, folks on awt-dev have been thinking about extending
java.awt.Desktop to improve the platform integration. This would provide
a standard API and a sensible migration for those using the Apple JDK 6
APIs. I don't know what the status is on this effort as there doesn't
seem to be a JEP on it.
