Hello Dan,

A Client side implementation of SNIA source is also available in Pegasus
source base.
This does include SNIA CIMBrowser. 

The following PEPs list the enhancement made to the Client source:
 http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/3314/PEP64_Java_CIMClient.htm
 
http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/5055/PEP125_JavaClient_Enhancem
ents.htm

And the source for this is in Pegasus CVS source base at
pegasus/src/Java  
 (   http://cvs.opengroup.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pegasus/src/Java/ )

I don't care about the SNIA CIMOM, but I do use the browser. Would this 
change apply to the browser as well?

Yes, I know WBEMServices has a functionally equivalent browser (better 
in many respects), but it's quite finicky about which version of Java 
you have to use to run it, so I frequently end up just using the SNIA 
browser.
