[Yanel-dev] Removal of sun.misc.BASE64Decoder

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

I have recently reveived the following message when compiling the Yanel 
servlet

     [javac] 
/home/wyona/data1/data1/src/yanel/trunk/src/webapp/src/java/org/wyona/yanel/servlet/YanelServlet.java:1780: 
warning: sun.misc.BASE64Decoder is Sun proprietary API and may be 
removed in a future release
     [javac]                 sun.misc.BASE64Decoder dec = new 
sun.misc.BASE64Decoder();

whereas this decoder is used in order to decode HTTP BASIC.

Does anyone know a good alternative?

I have found a couple of alternatives, but it's not really clear ...
