I've made those changes. Thanks.

Comments so far, will send more as I review more:

AlgorithmId.java * Update copyright KeyStore.java [296] I think you want to say: If none was set then null is returned. As I understand it, if none is set, then the KeyStore provider will use a default algorithm as specified by the Security property. This needs to be made clearer in the javadoc, as it reads it says it returns the value of this property, which is not possible since this class doesn't know what keystore type is being used at this point.

That's right. I want to add that behaviour but I need to think about it further.

[304] specify that null can be returned -

@return the algorithm name, or null if none was set --Sean

Updated webrev to include java.security.PKCS12Attribute: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vinnie/8005408/webrev.01/

It is yet another component of the JEP-166 delivery. This new API permits several enhancements to the PKCS12 keystore implementation: the storage of trusted certificates, storage of secret keys and support for entry metadata. Currently, only the PKCS12 keystore takes advantage of these new KeyStore APIs. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vinnie/8005408/webrev.00/

For storing trusted certificates in PKCS12 a new SafeBag attribute (with a familiar syntax) is introduced to indicate a trust usage: |trustedKeyUsage ATTRIBUTE ::= {| |||WITH SYNTAX ExtKeyUsageSyntax| |||ID id-at-trustedKeyUsage -- object identifier from an Oracle arc| |}| |-- from RFC ||5832||, Section ||4.2||.||1.12| |||ExtKeyUsageSyntax ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (||1||..MAX) OF KeyPurposeId| |||KeyPurposeId ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER| |||anyExtendedKeyUsage OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ce-extKeyUsage ||0| |}| Note that this approach does not preclude the storage of a Trust Anchor List (as defined in RFC 5914) which was proposed earlier on this list. There is one omission from the webrev above: the java.security.PKCS12Attribute class needs some additional changes and will be posted shortly. Again, JEP-166 is on a tight schedule for M6 so your early comments are appreciated. Thanks.
