Actually, i did find a new 'problem' related to this class now: java 7 added the getContentLengthLong method to urlconnection (for long downloads), and i was using getContentLength as a maximum value for a progressbar - needless to say those methods don't work with longs.
I suppose they (ProgressBar.setMaximum, setValue, setMinimum) can't be transparently changed from int to long?
