As someone already mentioned this is not worth a port, Sun's reference implementation is pure java and work out of the box. > 2. I cannot find the javax.crypto import either.

Again there is a pure java implementation from Sun which (most likely) just works, but last time I checked it, it was very incomplete. Try /usr/ports/java/bouncycastle, it's an open source clean room implementation JCE (javax.crypto is part of JCE). I did a small research on JCE implementations a while ago and Bouncycustle was a clear winner. > 3. I am trying to get the patch set 6 to work but it fails in a robot > source file edit.

I can confirm SSL working fine with it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
