I am about to commit the fix for the latest bugrep regarding apt, and looking at the task in general



1. we clearly need tests for this. Has anyone done any Apt work that we can use as source samples


2. did apt.Main#compile move, or has it always been broken? It may be that a beta->release migration changed names. I will file a bugrep telling sun not to move stuff here any more.

some worries about the task

1. what happens on debian systems where apt is an existing app? We should bind the exe to java-home/bin/apt on forking execution

2. the task explicitly says "no run on Java<1.5". I'd like to pull that and put it in the adapters, better yet, dont have it at all. The external exec can be platform independent, and the internal one should look for the classname instead of being version specific. The reason: that annotation backporting project. There is no reason why we shouldnt run apt on a 1.4 system if it is present.
