APIs To Be Removed from Java 11

After seeing several APIs removed as part of Java 10, Java 11 (JSR 384) looks to remove some more APIs. In the recent OpenJDK java-se-spec-experts mailing list post “JSR 384 (Java SE 11) PFD Specification posted to jcp.org,” Iris Clark announced the availability of the Java SE 11 (18.9) Proposed Final Draft Specification. This document lists APIs that are being removed as part of Java 11.

“Individual” (class/method) APIs are being removed in addition to the removal of entire modules.

JEP 320 [“Remove the Java EE and CORBA Modules”] and the StackOverflow page “Replacements for deprecated JPMS modules with Java EE APIs” provide significantly more details on replacements for the Java SE EE/CORBA-related modules.
