    Subject: does the JECF use the JDK 1.2 security api?

Hello there,
i am looking through the new 1.2 security API which
includes interfaces to "Guard", "Permission" etc..

the jecf security documentation talks about "Gates", "tickets" etc..

the 2 seem like they try to offer similar functionality although
they are different

i'd like some clarification on a few things:
1. will the JECF use jdk 1.2 security APIs? why/why not/when ?
2. what is the future for the 1.1 java.security.acl package - is it made
obsolete under 1.2 or does it still have a purpose?

thanks to you all for your help
