Hi Greg,

These are sun specific classes and won't be in future releases.

> I have an alpha 3 (command-line) application that uses these classes

A Java HTML parser available in:

	ftp://java.sun.com/pub/java/avh/html.tar.Z

It needs more work.

HotJava will contain better documented APIs for HTML support.  

Have fun,
