Statement regarding the deprecation of Java SE SecurityManager (Arjan)

• GitHub Issue: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/406
• https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/411 deprecates Java SE SecurityManager for Java SE 17
• Implementations that run on 17 should be configured to hide the warnings (in the startup scripts etc.) in order to avoid confusing the users
• Platform should give recommendations on whether Spec APIs should mark SecurityManager dependent APIs as deprecated.
• For anyone to give feedback to Java SE security team, use https://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/security-dev
• Action: Start working on a plan for how to handle this.
  • Ivar will create a doc. Arjan et. al will contribute
• Action: Guide for users should be written up and published on the EE 10 page
  • Ed will create a PR for a statement
• Should we send feedback to the SE team?
  • Which classes that would be problematic for us if removed entirely, e.g. AccessController#doPrivileged
  • Scott Stark will discuss with RH JDK team how to mitigate for middleware
