Please see the latest update http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptbrunet/JDK-8167213/webrev.02/
The fix now is to simply remove the copy of the AccessBridgeCalls.c file into the JDK. AccessBridgeCalls.c is the implementation of the documented Java Access Bridge API and is a set of wrapper functions that hides the complications related to interfacing to JAB's WindowsAccessBridge*.dll. In the past users of the API would compile and link to AccessBridgeCalls.c/obj. Since the interface implementation of AccessBridgeCalls.c will no longer be provided the JAB API documentation will be updated to instruct a user how to create an equivalent of AccessBridgeCalls.c. The documentation will also contain a reference to the JAB 2.0.2 download http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jab-2-0-2-download-354311.html which does contain AccessBridgeCalls.c and which is compatible with the current API and related calls into WindowsAccessBridge*.dll.
