Does anyone here have any tips, tutorials, or how-to's on

improve functionality with service providers as I go along. An
SPI seems like
a good way to do that, but I'm not finding a lot of documentation
on creating
one.
wait until Apple has a Java 6 "DP" (or develop on Linux), and use
java.util.Service?
if you're too impatient to wait for Apple, back-port it to Java 5.
Is there any reason I cannot use sun.misc.Service like
javax.naming.spi does? After unzipping the src.jar file in java
home, that appears to be how the standard java SPI's are locating
class names. Once I've got the names, I think I can figure out how
to get a classloader to produce an instance for me... I mean, I could
read through every jar file in the classpath looking for /META-INF/
Service myself, but it seems like a bit of a waste if all I want to
do is find the class names and this thing does the trick. Is using a
sun.* class a bad idea for any reason?
