Adam> crypto code?

javax.crypto and a security provider that has a bunch of crypto
algorithms.  See the GNU Crypto project.

Yeah, we don't have those.
There might be a partial javax.mail in ClasspathX, but I haven't
looked in a long time.

It might violate your license with Sun.
Also I don't know if it would work.

Adam> i think that java.util.Properties is a standard class library.
Adam> is that supported?

Yes.  See the status page on the gcj web site for information about
what we do and don't provide.
