Agreed, unsigned makes much more sense.

I vote keep it unsigned. Signed bytes in Java were a mistake IMO.
Almost every time I have to work with bytes in Java I have to do the
"& 0xFF" tricks to turn it unsigned.

At the moment, 'unsigned char' is used for BytesMessage

be encoded differently in Java and C++! I agree that 'unsigned char'
(or,
precisely, uint8_t) is more suitable for 'byte' type in C/C++, but
if we
follow JMS standard, we should use 'signed char' instead. The
representation
of signed chars isn't a part of ANSI C Standard, but most compilers
use 2's
complement, and so Java does.
Hereby, I propose to replace unsigned char with signed one.
