Missing classes

[jeff.parent]

So I'm a long time developer, but new to Java. I'm going through some examples and I've found that many of the basic classes are missing.

java.util.List
java.net.*

There are many more but am I missing something here? Is there some package that I should be using instead of java.* for some of these classes? Since theres very few good "How To" 's for programing the BB, I'm kind of at a loss, I guess I'll just have to start creating my own classes.

The BB JVM does not implement all of Java (naturally). You will need to adapt by looking at the API javadoc and subclassing/using what is provided to you (eg, you can make a List from a Vector, which is provided).

The only problem that I'm really having is that (for this project) I wanted to use someone else's API (Google's Picasa API) which of course uses some of these classes that are not available. Without them, I either have to a) not use the API, b) change the API to use something else. Both of which I'm fine with, but it just makes me a little sad that I have to do one or the other.

or, c) implement those parts of the API that are missing, perhaps.
