When I get to the page to download the sources, besides the usual j2sdk-1_4_1-src-scsl.zip, I can download another file, called j2sdk-sec-1_4_1-src-scsl.zip. The latter contains cryptographic code, but I am puzzled about its purpose. For all I can say, this contains source code for classes that are built with the port anyway, but perhaps this other bundle has some benefits, such as stronger encryption? If this is so, how could we include it in the build? The bundle contains only java files, plus a Windows C file, that I believe we can ignore. Also, will the final binary release of 1.4.1 contain these cryptography extensions, or the current ones?
