Bug Description

The bouncycastle packages are built using the included script jdk14.xml however that script differs from jdk15.xml or jdk16.xml in that some classes are excluded such as the ECPointUtil and ECNamedCurveSpec.

If the package instead where built using jdk15.xml those classes would be included.

A sample package is available in my PPA:

How can I help so this gets fixed? It effectively blocks packaging of the SignServer project.

Hello,

1.46+dfsg-5 was built using jdk16.xml. Can you confirm that it solved your problem ?

Have a nice day,

Thank you Charles,

Looking in the binary package I can now confirm that ECPointUtil.class and ECNamedCurveSpec.class is available so in my opinion this issue is fixed.

However as a side note, regarding the packaging of SignServer, as we discovered that that BC 1.46 broke the API and we would have to change our code, we instead decided to port it stright away to the 1.47 version.

Best regards,
Markus
