Issue JDK-4873188 [1] asked for TLS 1.1 support for OpenJDK 1.4, 5, 6,
and 7. It was implemented for OpenJDK 7 [2] and recently backported to 6
[3].

An issue to add TLS 1.2 support to OpenJDK 1.4, 5, and 6 was tracked by
JDK-6916074 [4], but support for it was only added for OpenJDK 7 [5].

It is not clear at this time if TLS 1.2 is supported by OpenJDK 6. The
TLS 1.1 backport [3] seems to have integrated TLS 1.2 support code (but
with a seemly hard-coded max for TLS 1.1) and a fix for a TLS 1.2 bug
was recently incorporated [6] which includes a test for "SSLv3",
"TLSv1", "TLSv1.1", and "TLSv1.2".

JDK-7093640 [7] tracked the effort to enable TLS 1.2 by default for
OpenJDK 7 and 8, but was only enabled for OpenJDK 8 [8] and 9 [9]. The
rationale at the time [see 7] was to keep it disabled for OpenJDK 7 due
to existing "version intolerant" servers - ie. "TLS server deployments
that do not accept higher TLS version numbers, which is generally
version TLS v1.0".


As for RC4, disabling it was originally reported in JDK-8076221 [10] and 
executed by S8043202. For OpenJDK 7, that change was integrated into IcedTea 
2.5 JDK forest [11] and released in 2.5.6 [12] and 2.6.1 [13]. OpenJDK 6 got it 
in IcedTea 1.13.8 release [14].
