Description

The ACC was never really that popular and it's primary target use cases - remote EJB and Applets - are long out of favor. It should be deprecated to keep the platform lightweight, agile, and forward looking.

There are already many better alternatives for many years now. Just some of them:

* Not using Java SE clients in the first place and use JavaScript clients instead.
* Using REST, WebSocket, etc instead.
* Using vendor specific remote JNDI client libraries.
