Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/iotrace/webrev.00/ Who (or what) is the intended consumer of the sun.misc.IoTrace and IoTraceListener APIs? In other words, are these meant to be stable external interfaces that we're going to support for use by arbitrary code over the long term?

The primary intended consumer is Java Flight Recorder which is JDK internal.

The reason I ask is that sun.misc is likely to go away in JDK 9, as part of the modularization work. If these APIs are meant to be used by any code outside of the JDK then we should probably put them in a more appropriate package now in order to avoid pain later on.

I don't have any preferences. Can you suggest a better package?

Thanks, /Staffan
