Hrm...this was (supposedly) fixed/removed on 2003-10-20 for JDK 5...but
I can't find anything in the old SCCS workspace history to indicate it
was (old bug id is nowhere to be found). It's been there ever since we
migrated to Mercurial.
Anyway, it's gone in JDK 9 as a result of the modularity code changes.
I've filed:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195794
Other than a bit of search overhead, I don't think it should cause a
problem. This will be a pretty low bug priority bug for sustaining to
fix, unless there is something I'm not catching.
If someone is looking for a simple bug to learn the process of how to
contribute to OpenJDK 8, this is a good candidate. That someone should
probably followup with hotspot-dev [1], as this is their code.

Hello,
I noticed that when I strace a "java -version" with 8u152 JRE it
searches for sunrsasign.jar which is not found. Is that a compatibility
thing or should it not happen?
It seems to be in the boot classpath even when the associated classes
are in rt.jar:
