There is discussion going on in the Ant mailing list at the moment
related to its use of sun.misc.UUEncoder (they are looking at replacing
it - possibly in time for ant 1.7 - possibly due in the next month or so).
At the moment they are looking into a Geronimo replacement.

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/trunk/geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec/src/main/java/org/apache/geronimo/mail/util/

They don't have UUDecode but do have UUDecoderStream.java.
I don't know if there is a smallish jar we can use or whether
an Apache license allows us to re-use some of the source code.
Also, its not clear whether such functionality will already
already (soon) be there within ant 1.7.

When I get some time I will look into this a bit more.
I did find another reference implementation that didn't
look to be that complex for us to rewrite if we had to.

Hi,

I was wrongly developing with Sun's JRE 5 which made me commit use of a Java 5 method. To look at it more carefully, I've linked against an alternate 1.4 JRE and seen that WebTest uses some Sun's Java internal classes.

com.canoo.webtest.extension.applet.cookie.Applet:
sun.net.www.content.text.PlainTextInputStream

com.canoo.webtest.plugins.emailtest.EmailMessageContentFilter:
sun.misc.UUDecoder

Is it really intended? Isn't it possible to avoid it? I think that it would be really much better if WebTest only uses standard JRE methods + provided libraries without making any assumptions about the JRE used.

What do you think?

Marc.
