Sometimes there's no Scala counterpart to some JDK API, which then has to be used in the Scala library. That's fine as Scala.Net goes, those callsites are re-routed to IKVM (a library for .NET covering most of OpenJDK). That conversion is automatic, btw (it's performed by the jdk2ikvm tool).

Good question. I was under the impression that Scala for .NET uses an
emulation layer which translates Java standard library calls. Miguel,
can you advise on this?
