@dfuch Can you please review this?

Hello Shivangi, I will talk to Volkan tomorrow to decide if we should backport this or do it at a later date.

I'm keen on backporting JDK-8372661 and all its sub-tasks (mind that their merge order matters!), preferably ASAP. It is a matter of time we will need to backport a change set touching tests that use SimpleSSLContext, and the author will need to deal with the merge conflict. Put another way, I am not able to see a reason to postpone this operation. That said, porting process can be complicated, and @dfuch has extensive experience on the subject. I will defer the "When shall we backport?" question to him.

Edit: JDK-8372661 implements the null-safe static factory methods in a backward-compatible way, and its sub-tasks migrates tests to use the new factory methods. Hence, backporting sub-tasks are not necessary.
