As part of the effort to prepare the platform for modules (see
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/162) we need to re-examine all normative
references to files/resources in ${java.home} as these may be candidates
to be replaced or candidates to move to module-private locations in the
future.
The focus of this change are the various security APIs that specify that
the default values of security properties are loaded from
${java.home}/lib/security/java.security. We need the flexibility to be
able to re-locate this file and its properties to ease the transition to
a modular system.
The proposed changes remove all references to
${java.home}/lib/security/java.security or "security properties file"
from the APIs and adds a reference to the java.security.Security API for
more information about security properties. The class definition of the
Security class has been adjusted to note that the loading of the default
values of security properties is implementation-specific, but that they
are typically loaded from the ${java.home}/lib/security/java.security file.
