Sean, John, Joe,

Can you review this fix todeprecatesthe |SecurityManager.checkMemberAccess| method as proposed in http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/176? Webrev at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk8/webrevs/8007035/webrev.00 I went through the webrev except for the MethodHandles update and it mostly looks good to me. I agree that checkMemberAccess should be deprecated.

In the @deprecated comment then it should probably say that it will be changed in the future to check AllPermission. It would be inconsistent to throw SecurityException for the fully trusted case.

A minor comment checkMemberAccess L2064-2065 where it might be nicer as: if (while != Member.PUBLIC && ccl != ...).

-Alan.
