Paul,

I'd be a little apprehensive about running
with a 1.4.2 Java runtime.  I usually build with 1.4.2 but run with
50.  Simply put, there are two padding issues you may run into on
1.4.2.  

1) Quite often Signatures are done with
OAEP padding, and supporting classes for that algorithm did not show up
in Java runtimes until Java 50.  
2) The other gotcha on 1.4.2 is the
ISO10126 padding (used in encrypting), which may or may not be in the crypto
provider(s).

Tie, Mike, and Jeesmon,

I'm about to hop on a plane to San Jose. Tomorrow morning I'm going to
spend
the morning in my hotel room making sure that I can build and run the RCP
Selector Solution [1]. I'm running on Windows XP with IE7 with Sun's JRE
1.4.2. The goal would be to show it at the Higgins tutorial that Mary and
I
are giving Monday afternoon at 4pm pacific. 

Since I don't usually build & run this selector, I'm going to be a
guinea
pig and follow the directions in the "deploying" section here:
[2] (which I
now see refers to as yet unwritten sections about the HBXIE browser
extension here: [3]). I'll be following the instructions here [4] to build
the main RCP app. From a quick glance at the .PSF on [4] it appears that
we
are still building this solution from the trunk instead of the 1.0.0 branch
(the .psf doesn't reference the B1-0-0 branch). So it may no longer build.
I
guess I'll find out.

>From my quick look at the build instructions there are a couple of
areas
that look like they could trip me up:
 - building HBXIE without doc
 - building the RCP APP off of the unstable trunk (vs. the released B1-0-0
branch)

I'm sending this email just in case one of you has any great tips, advice,
etc. WRT the above concerns or any other you know about. Any help and advice
appreciated. 

-Paul
