Hi Philip,

The mandatory networking classes are in java.net. We've got some
additional classess that we've put in sun.net.* to avoid name
clashes with other software vendors.

We are in control of what is part of the java.* classes that
are available in every Java environment. As time goes on we
will add more functionality in a controlled and upward compatible
manner.

Have fun,

	Arthur van Hoff
