I agree, my port of classpath qualifies as fairly exotic and I just replaced FileChannelImpl with my own version. Similarly with PlainSocketImpl and PlainDatagramSocketImpl. I consider these cases the same as the VM* classes. As long as the interface to these classes doesn't change too often, this is a very workable solution. > I don't know what type the Win32 API uses for a file descriptor; It uses a a pointer sized integer (i.e. 32 bit on Win32 and 64 bit on Win64).
