Looks like sun.awt.windows.WToolkit is final in JDK 1.8, and it looks like it was not in JDK 1.7.

You generally should not be using classes from sun.* packages, as these are not part of the public API. In fact, in Java 9 access to these classes will be removed.

Yes the class WToolkit is final in java 8:

 public final class WToolkit extends SunToolkit implements Runnable {

See the implementation.
