Ok. Then 2 things :
* Why are they not expanded as the other java source files ? We could have
the following directory structure:

<root>/src/framework
  |_ share (or java)
    |_ com ...
  |_ jdk1.1
    |_ com ...
  |_ examples
    |_ com ...
  |_ tests
    |_ com ...

<root>/src/extensions
  |_ vaj
    |_ share (or java)
    |_ examples (if applicable)
    |_ tests (if applicable)
  |_ eziba
  |_ atg
  |_ ...

* Why don't we use the collection classes for JDK 1.x instead of writing our
own (http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/infobus/) ?!

or

* Why do we use JDK 1.2 specific classes and not the generic classes
(Vector, Hashtable, ...) ?
