Thanks Daniel and Regis for the information about Apache Harmony. I'll see if I can get the source code for the class library downloaded today and I will begin looking at the java.util modules. Is there a task list for the work that needs to be done in the class library or a person that supervises this work?
Thank you again for the direction.
