java.lang.Package.getAllPackages() does not work properly
in JDK-1.2beta4 builds.

The doc says:
"
public static Package[] getAllPackages()

    Get all the packages currently known for the callers classloader.
    Those packages correspond to
    classes loaded via or accessible by name to that classloader.
    If the callers classloader is null only
    the packages corresponding to system classes will be returned.
    Returns:
       a new array of packages known to the callers classloader. An zero
    length array is returned if none are known.
"

public class Packages {
  public static void main(String argv[]) {
   Package packages[] = Package.getAllPackages();
   System.out.println("Packages are:");
   for (int i=0;i<packages.length;i++)
    System.out.println(packages[i].getName());
   System.out.println("----------------");
  }
}
