I think we ought to delete these service files from Classpath. It seems to me that, due to class loader delegation, we will always pick up any service file that is built in to glibj.zip. But, this isn't what we want. And, since we have fallbacks hard-coded into the factory classes, we don't actually need these service files anyway. Comments? Tom
