Which we shouldn't depend upon at any point in time IMHO. I don't know whether the sun.net classes are part of the codebase that is licensed by IBM, HP, Digital (err Compaq, uhm HP) and others that provide JREs for their platforms - and we should discourage independent implementations like Kaffe or Japhar or whatever. > Though I agree there may be some such platforms, nixing > compatibility for Java 1.1 was voted for in Ant2. FreeBSD is one of the most important ones, especially since it is the platform of choice for some Apache developers 8-) (yes, I know that you can run the Linux VMs on FreeBSD). > Wont these platforms have had the same problems if > Ant2 is, say, being released in the next 3-6 months? Yes - although I don't see an Ant release in the next 3-6 months 8-(. > Collections Not needed for Ant 1.x IMHO. > Also, some com.sun.image.codec.jpeg classes! Use JAI instead - this is available for JDK 1.1 as well (and is easier to access). Do you want to write an Ant task that creates images?
