Hi, please oblige and review the following changes http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~msheppar/8134577/webrev/which address the issue raised in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8134577 the operative word has been "eliminate". As such, the interface and service descriptor sun.net.spi.nameservice.NameService sun.net.spi.nameservice.NameServiceDescriptor* *together with its implementation (sun.net.nameservice.dns.DNSNameService) has been remove from the JDK libraries.
This is unfortunate. There's really no other way to hook into name resolution. What's wrong with putting this stuff in a com.sun or org.openjdk module?
Having modules doesn't *really* require that everything non-standard be hidden or killed off, just that it be separated from the standard modules in a way that makes some kind of sense.
