I didn't look at it closely, but I had the impression that they yanked
a bunch of classes out of BC and copied them into geronimo, under the
org.apache.geronimo namespace.  So using this JAR would require some
changes in WSS4J (which I've proposed, anyway).

I think it would be less risky if we just forced users to download BC
themselves.

I'm not sure what the implications are for testing, since we'll need
to do the same.

Perhaps it's time for apache to start a JCE provider project.  It'd be
lots of fun (some people get a thrill from that sort of thing, I
guess), but it would also be a lot of work.

Seems like this [1] jar won't work :

$ jarsigner -verify geronimo-util-1.0.jar
jar is unsigned. (signatures missing or not parsable)

Also I don't see any BC classes in the jar.

Thanks,

I believe the geronimo folks already created a non-idea jar:

Not sure the state of it though or how well it works.

Hi Devs,

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).

+1.  At the same time, it seems that people in the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1],[2] were interested in a bouncycastle jar w/o the algorithm
included. IMHO, it would be great if we can get this done as this will
remove the unnecessary hassle  from the users to download it
themselves. It seems David from BC was willing to do that [3], wonder
what happened.

thanks,
nandana
