What should we recommend people use in place of sun.misc.BASE64Encoder (and ...Decoder)? gnu.java.net.BASE64 is handy and does the job, but switching code to use that won't fly in cases where the upstream maintainer wishes to continue building/running with proprietary implementations.
They could simply bundle gnu.java.net.BASE64. ;)If they are under an Apache Software Licese v.2, then the Apache Software Foundation's jakarta commons-codec might be a more accessible alternative (for ASF's own projects).
It would be nice if we could all promote the use of a liberally licensed** base64 solution and mention this on the ClasspathMigration wiki page.
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/base64/ is in public domain. I have not tried it, though.
cheers, dalibor topic
