What's new in Java SE Development Kit 7

Version 1.7.0_80:

New features and changes:

New Command-line option to Identify Use of Deprecated Mechanisms - The endorsed-standards override mechanism and the extension mechanism are deprecated in JDK 8u40 and may be removed in a future release. There are no runtime changes. Existing applications using the 'endorsed-standards override' or 'extension' mechanisms are recommended to migrate away from using these mechanisms. To help identify any existing uses of these mechanisms, the -XX:+CheckEndorsedAndExtDirs command-line option is available. It will fail if any of the following conditions is true

Bug fixes:

Area: tools/jar Synopsis: Improve jar file handling. Starting with JDK 7u79 release, the jar tool no longer allows the leading slash "/" and ".." (dot-dot) path component in zip entry file name when creating new and/or extracting from zip and jar file. If needed, the new command line option "-P" should be used explicitly to preserve the dot-dot and/or absolute path component.
