Strange I cannot open bugs.openjdk.java.net now.
I am planning to make it compatible in the delta-patch for jake:
public static void loadProviderByClass(
String provClass, String arg, ClassLoader cl) {
Provider prov;
+ if (provClass.equals("sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11")) {
+ // For compatibility, SunPKCS11 is loadable with -providerClass.
+ loadProviderByName("SunPKCS11", arg);
+ return;
+ }
.... loading class ....
Mandy suggested we only support this single class.
