Peter,
sounds reasonable.

ad 1) I've not much experience with non-Sun jvms/jres. However, referring
sun.* classes in a task might not be a good practice. But isn't moving
report-function to the optional category just a cosmetic operation?
What do you think about moving the functionality "getBootstrapClasspathUrls"
into JavaEnvUtils and do it there via reflection. We can also add tests for
the both classes in JavaEnvUtils.getJrePackageTestCases.
Or is there a better location for this functionality?

ad 2) I've also made this experience.
Some times ago I've had a version with this feature but in the present
version i abandoned it to make things easier.
However, this behaviour should be switchable as there a imaginable cases
where it is not desired.

ad 3) Absolutely. (Something, I've never thought about.)

I'm working on it but it may take a while (I've started a new
project/contract yesterday).

Cheers

Rainer
