I was thinking along the lines of a little pluggable piece of code,
which would let the user initialize the JCE, as needed. This code
could be dynamically loaded, and driven off configuration and findable
on the CLASSPATH (to hopefully mitigate race conditions with our
startup/initialization code).
To get to your immediate question, the only JCE providers I've worked
with with WSS4J is BC, so I'm not sure I'd be of much help in putting
together such a list.

That's excactly the reason Eclipse legal stays away from BC.
If we can get away from hardcoded dependency from BC JCE, it'd be
awsome!
May be we can produce a list of compatible JCEs that can be used with
WSS4J (including BC).

Has the WSS4J team digested this discussion on apache-legal? [1] See
the thread 'IDEA block cipher inclusion via the "bouncy castle" JCE

I propose we remove the BouncyCastle JARs from our "other"
distribution, and add a note in the release notes, saying that users
must procure a copy of the BC jars themselves.
