Hi Andrew -

I really need to work on fleshing out my emails... :-/ The 20 release of the normal (non-OpenJDK) is missing this update.  I had thought that this fix was supposed to be back-ported to the closed JDK 6 release.  I've got the OpenJDK built on my local machine, but the folks I'm working with would rather use the pre-packaged Windows version etc etc etc... sigh.

By its very nature, we don't know what's in the proprietary JDK. That's an issue you need to take up with Oracle. The bug is fixed in OpenJDK6 and 7.

Thanks - Mike

Hi guys -

I see from the Mercurial logs that this went in to both the jdk6 and jdk7 repositories.  For jdk6 - it's rev 302 which looks like this should have ended up in the 19 release But all the files in lib/ext/sunpkcs11.jar  for 20 are all tagged as 1 September 2009.... Is the sunpkcs11.jar provider not getting regenerated and rebundled during the release process? Mike It has been: $ hg log -R jdk -k 6763530 changeset:   302:82b80660cac3 user:        vinnie date:        Thu Jan 21 23:59:41 2010 +0000 summary:     6763530: Cannot decode PublicKey (Proider SunPKCS11, curve prime256v1) and certainly is present on IcedTea6's builds. -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
