Thank you both for your replies. I tried it out and now it can't find the javax.crypto package. I took a look at rt.jar from 1.4.1 and indeed it's not there. From the Sun website, it says that crypto is part of 1.4 so it should be there. Does this mean I need to add another jar to the bootclasspath? Which jar do I add? And will each jar be separated by a comma or semicolon?
