Describe the issue: The latest LTS release of Java; Java 21 was released on September 2023. As Identity Server is a downloadable product which will be used years after its releases, its important to plan for the latest LTS support for a upcoming release proactively.

This initiative aims to ensure compatibility with the Java 21 runtime for the IS product.

  1. Remove sun.java dependencies to ensure compatibility with the Java 21 LTS runtime.

With the introduction of Java 21 LTS, most of the sun.java classes and methods are no longer supported. These internal APIs were never intended for public use and have been strongly encapsulated since Java 9. Continuing to rely on them in Java 21 poses significant risks, including potential runtime failures and compatibility issues. Therefore, it's essential to refactor the codebase to replace sun.java dependencies with standard, supported Java APIs to ensure long-term stability and maintainability of the product.
