Hello,
With a number of efforts to update various class hierarchies in the JDK
to sealed classes, I wrote an annotation processor to find candidates to
be changed to sealed. The candidates for this analysis are non-final
public classes with at least one package access constructor and no
public constructors. That is, the candidate class cannot be generally
subclassable.
Several dozen candidates were identified and listed in JDK-8283414,
including two cases where changing the classes in question to sealed was
already out for review (JDK-8282536 and JDK-8283237).
I've created subtasks for a number of other cases in core-libs; the
cases in security libs could also be reviewed.
