On the JDK you also need -java.text.resources - it's never been in any 
of the releases' documentation, but it's in every JDK version since 1.1. 
It currently shows up as 100% missing (and bright red) in the nightly 
HTML comparison, because the 1.2 and 1.3 japis I have still include it...

Btw, I have added the errors themselves to the HTML output, and 
linkified them from the summary table. It needs a bit more tidying up 
and some per-package summaries, but it's useful enough to be worth 
trying to use the HTML output for bugfixing. The only thing that worries 
me is that in the absence of a jdk14.japi, some of the things that are 
listed as errors might be actually attempts at 1.4 compatibility - just 
as there are quite a few errors against JDK1.1 that don't appear in the 
output for JDK1.3, suggesting that these are places where Sun themselves 
broke compatibility.

If anyone feels like figuring out enough of Jode to get a jdk14.japi out 
of it, now would be a very good time; this is something I certainly 
can't do because my primary machine can barely even japize 1.1.
