There's an inherent problem with all classes and class packages of all languages. Basically when you package up a bundle of classes there are few clues for a novice to determine which classes are for internal use only and which are the primary front end of the API. Similarly, when there are dozens of non-depreciated methods in a class, it becomes difficult for a novice to determine which are the critical calls that every application will inevitably use and which are there just to handle corner cases or special applications. This is why I had trouble finding the call for dowloading a file in the FTP system.
Javadoc is wonderful. It certainly does help when one needs a refference. The VFS package seems to be closer to what I actually need, but at the same time it's much more complex. This is why HowTos and other tutorials are vitally important for all non-trivial packages, especially packages for use as libraries. =( Do you know where I can find useful getting started guides for VFS? -- New president: Here we go again...
