The methods monitorEnter, monitorExit and tryMonitorEnter on are marked as deprecated in JDK 8u60 and will be removed in a future release. Synopsis: Deprecate Unsafe monitor methods in JDK 8u release To disable keystore compatibility mode set the Security property to the string value false. This mode enables JKS keystores to access both JKS and PKCS12 file formats. Keystore Compatibility Mode: - To aid interoperability, the Java keystore type JKS now supports keystore compatibility mode by default. Synopsis: Support keystore type detection for JKS and PKCS12 keystores

You can also use the command line option to override the security property. These cipher suites can be reactivated by removing 'RC4' form '' security property in the curity file or by dynamically calling tProperty(), and also readding them to the enabled ciphersuite list using the SSLSocket/tEnabledCipherSuites() methods.

Accordingly, RC4-based TLS ciphersuites have been deactivated by default in the Oracle JSSE implementation by adding 'RC4' to '' security property, and by removing them from the default enabled ciphersuites list. RC4-based TLS ciphersuites (e.g., TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA) are now considered compromised and should no longer be used (see RFC 7465). The dns_lookup_realm setting in Kerberos' nf file is by default false. Synopsis: dns_lookup_realm should be false by default
