IV75089: JDEPS -JDKINTERNALS MARKS EVERYTHING AS INTERNAL API

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: When running
  jdeps -jdkinternals test.jar
  It flags every package as a JDK internal API when going through
  each class in the jar file.
   -> java.lang.Object JDK
  internal API (vm.jar)
   -> java.lang.String JDK
  internal API (vm.jar)
   -> java.lang.StringBuilder JDK
  internal API (vm.jar)
   -> java.lang.System JDK
  internal API (vm.jar)
   -> java.lang.Thread JDK
  internal API (vm.jar)
  But these API's are public classes. Jdeps tool needs to be
  corrected to get proper results.
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  

Local fix

• User defined profiles.properties file should set as
  jdeps.profiles property as stated below:
  
   jdeps -J-Djdeps.profiles=<path-to>/profiles.properties
  -jdkinternals tests.jar
  

Problem summary

• jdeps -jdkinternals marks everything as internal API
  

Problem conclusion

• Bundled profiles.properties file as part of tools.jar so that it
  gets loaded when using jdeps tool to avoid every public API to
  be reported as JDK internal API.
