Description

Base64 is a part of the JDK since Java 6. 

2.0.0 enables API changes, thus the shipped Base64 de- and encoder should be removed.

The class itself should remain, though. The string-methods in the Base64 class use the UTF-8 encoding by default, whereas the JDK Base64 methods will assume ISO-8859-1 if no encoding is given.
