Java SE 9 changes the JDK’s Transform, Validation and XPath implementations to use the JDK’s system-default parser even when a third party parser is on the classpath. In order to override the JDK system-default parser, applications need to explicitly set the new System property jdk.xml.overrideDefaultParser. To revert to the previous behavior, set the system property jdk.util.zip.ensureTrailingSlash to “false”. This change was made in order to fix a regression introduced in JDK 8u141 when verifying signed JARs that has caused some WebStart applications to fail to load. A new JDK implementation specific system property jdk.internal.FileHandlerLogging.maxLocks has been introduced to control the java.util.logging.FileHandler MAX_LOCKS limit. The default value of the current MAX_LOCKS (100) is retained if this new system property is not set or an invalid value is provided to the property.
A new boolean system property, jdk.security.useLegacyECC, has been introduced that enables switching between implementations of ECC. Note that the property does not apply to X.509 v1 certificates (since they don’t support extensions). Since January 2018 (8u161, 7u171) unlimited Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Jurisdiction Policy files have been bundled with the JDK and enabled by default (see JDK Cryptographic Roadmap).

For sandbox app, a second certificate revocation check is always performed after accepting security dialog, ignoring that fact that user already accepted the certificate. If there are network connection problems, such as when a proxy is turned off, the revocation check can take a long time, before java.net.SocketTimeoutException is thrown. This change will only affect those applications that use a 3rd party DOM implementation. In general, the NodeSet structure is expected to be compatible with that of the JDK default implementation. The Exception Site List feature allows end users to run Java applets and Java Web Start applications that do not meet the latest security requirements. Rich Internet Applications that are hosted on a site in the exception site list are allowed to run with the applicable security prompts.

Java™ SE Development Kit 7, Update 71 (JDK 7u Release Notes
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 7u231) on November 15, 2019. The keytool and jarsigner tools have been updated to warn users when weak cryptographic algorithms are used in keys, certificates, and signed JARs before they are disabled. The weak algorithms are set in the jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file. In this release, the tools issue warnings for the SHA-1 hash algorithm and 1024-bit RSA/DSA keys. This JDK release introduces new restrictions on how signed JAR files are verified.
The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_171-b11 (where “b” means “build”). The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_181-b09 (where “b” means “build”). The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_191-b08 (where “b” means “build”).
Java 17 updates
The JDK internal package com.sun.corba.se and its sub-packages have been added to the restricted package list and therefore cannot be used directly when running with a security manager. In JDK 7u51, a change has been made in JAXP Xalan Extension functions to always use the default DOM implementation when Security Manager is present. JDK 7 is a superset of JRE 7, and contains everything that is in JRE 7, plus tools such as the compilers and debuggers necessary for developing applets and applications. JRE 7 provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language.
A user can display the touch keyboard either by using a touch screen to tap the text component area or by using a mouse to click in the area, when a keyboard is not attached to a computer. Note also that these system properties are currently supported by the JDK Reference Implementation. The Swing GTK Look & Feel in JDK 7u depends on GTK2 libraries provided by the OS. If these are not pre-installed, please download them from your OS vendor’s software repository. In the event the vendor no longer supports or provides GTK2, then the GTK2 based Swing Look & Feel will also be unsupported. This change removes obsolete NIST EC curves from the default Named Groups used during TLS negotiation.
