Yeah this is a very sad point indeed. Luckily I can focus on other things until SSL arrives and 1.5 is the standard production JDK in prominence. The more I think about it the more I get depressed however I would not let this steer us away for sticking close to NIO. It has the standard selection mechanism we need. If forced to we should be able to implement a SSLSocketChannel for 1.4 no?
