We have incorporated APIs from SUN like JMS, JSSE, and JavaMail, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that JMS and JSSE become increasingly hard to find on the Java site. Why? Because JSSE is part of J2SE 1.4 and above and JMS is part of J2EE 1.2 and above.
I had a real time of it finding the necessary libraries--and in the case of JSSE, the download is not necessary if we are compiling with a new enough JVM. Unfortunately Maven forces this on me because the project descriptor does not provide a way to test if the library is present in the classpath other than by checking the repository for the JAR.
Again this is a minor gripe, and if we could keep a link to the web pages to download and instructions on how to install the libraries we can avoid most of the vocal user grumbles.
