base64 encode/decode are common operations. There is sun.misc.BASE64[En|De]coder but as it is in private sun.* package it is not appropriate for use. End result is that base64 code gets needlessly copied and duplicated often in many products. It would be nicer to move this support to a public (java.util.* perhaps) package.
