[Jessie-discuss] Running GNU-Classpath-SSL with Sun-JDK1.5

[chinmaya]

(Ignore my previous mail: changing the subject)
Hi,

I some how managed to extract GNU-SSL (Jessie) and related packages
and compile it using SUN JDK1.5.
I changed my existing sample server/client to use GNU-SSL provider,
during hand shake I am getting following error: 
javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Data must start with zero.
Looks like this very basic error, any idea whats causing this.

Well, gnu.java.security and gnu.javax.crypto are from GNU Crypto,
which was also merged into Classpath.

I think someone had been putting work into Classpath to support
compiling the JSSE and crypto into separate jars, but I don't recall
if this work was done or not.

I don't see why not.
