Hi Stefan,

Ok, this seems to be another misunderstanding: I want Java libraries to depend on all APIs except for the core APIs. I simply assume that libraries work with any JVM/JRE, although this might not be correct.

One of the funnier things last year was that ant had an 1.5.4 release because they used a sun.* class for javah directly and Sun changed somthing about it, so they had to make another release to work around ant breaking on a newer JDK ;)


So the assumption is not correct in practice for code that uses sun.* classes directly. Which seems to be quite common, unfortuntely :(

cheers,
