Java 8的Java 7 sun。*类

Question

I am using some library which inside itself use sun.security.* classes. And I'm using it as dependency in my project which is java 8. In java 8 some methods removed from sun classes which my library need.

I understand that messing up with sun.* packages is not good idea, but I don't want to downgrade my project to java 7, so is there any workaround to make my project run in java 8 environment, but use sun.* classes from java 7 ?

Answer 1

... is there any workaround to make my project run in java 8 environment, but use sun.* classes from java 7 ?

The missing method is part of the SSL implementation, and it looks like there have been major rewrites in Java 8. (For good reason, IIRC.)

Is there a simple workaround?

Probably not. It would entail messing around with the SSL implementation, and that is risky, even if you can get the code to run.

A couple of better ideas would be:

• Port the 3rd-party library that is causing you problems to Java 8. (Or pay someone else to do it for you.)

• Change it to use a different OAuth2 API. There are some leads here: http://oauth.net/2/
