Problem:

I can not import the classes BASE64Decoder and BASE64Encoder , there are N code that use them and when I use them everything that is related does not work just because they are not found.

import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;

I need to understand why I can not find the sun.misc package and the BASE64Decoder and BASE64Encoder classes. Who can help?

java packages

Since Java 6, you can use static methods printBase64Binary and parseBase64Binary of class DatatypeConverter .

See an example:

String base64 = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary("Blá = 1".getBytes("UTF-8"));
System.out.println(base64);

String original = new String(DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(base64), "UTF-8");
System.out.println(original);

This will print:
