I believe you can easily download the necessary jar from Doug's web site. (I think if you build JCS via maven the jar will be auto downloaded.) What JCS should do, IMO, is to at least upgrade to use the backport version instead of this pretty old jar. 2.

Sadly it's still being written for pre JDK5 applications. Any clue will be highly appreciated. > > Thanks, > Robin >
