Please review this cleanup PR which removes the protected, deprecated field `X509Key.key` in the internal package `sun.security.x509`.
This field and the associated field `unusedBits` have been marked `@Deprecated` since the initial load. The recommended replacement is to use the `BitArray` representation, which does not require keys to be byte-aligned. Two use sites of the `key` field were found in subclasses: * The `ECPublicKeyImpl` constructor was updated to use a `BitArray` instead. * `ECPublicKeyImpl.parseKeyBits()` was updated to call `getKey().toByteArray()` to produce the byte array. Somewhat unrelated, the method `ECPublicKeyImpl.getEncodedPublicValue()` was deemed unused and has been removed. Testing and verification: This PR does not update any tests. GHA runs green. ------------- Commit messages: - Remove the deprecated field X509Key.key with associated code Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18185/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=18185&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8327779 Stats: 55 lines in 2 files changed: 2 ins; 48 del; 5 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18185.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/18185/head:pull/18185 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18185
