Of course!  Why re-invent the wheel (as, like you said, we all have).  I 
didn't know enough about the innards of the apache projects to realize that 
there was already an implementation.

Either way, I agree with the (grand)parent post that using the nonstandard 
Sun version isn't really acceptable, unless you can ensure that it is always 
available.  It's a shame that Sun couldn't move more of their utility classes 
into the main library so that we all wouldn't have to worry about this.
