The reason for this is because the 1.5 JDK has the javax.security.sasl
package in the standard library, and it seems that that specification
and the one GNU Crypto uses has diverged somewhat.

Take the 'SaslClient.getNegotiatedProperty' method. In GNU Crypto's
implementation, this method's signature is

   Object getNegotiatedProperty(String) throws SaslException;

But in the J2SE 1.5 API, it is

   Object getNegotiatedProperty(String);

And is declared to throw an IllegalStateException in the case of an
error.

GNU Crypto's version of this API should be updated to be compatible
with the one in the JDK. In the meantime, probably the only way to
avoid this error is to omit the Jar with the SASL package from the
compile classpath.
