The common practice is use to the sun.misc.* version to get going quickly.
Although this is a sun.misc.* class, its actually pretty stable, and they
(Sun) do a decent job of keeping it compatible since a lot of people use it
- like the Base64Encoder class. If you want to garuntee the solution still
works on non-Sun JVMs, or you are just generally more comfortable not using
using the sun.misc.* classes, it is fairly trivial to start with the
sun.misc.* one for now; and drop in a replacement that we write. Its not too
difficult to make up your own - its really a pretty simple class.
