            Description

            When I was working on PDF-130, I was running the tagging on the calgary transit 2004 PDF, using Java 1.5, and it worked just fine. When I switched to using Java 1.6, I got an exception related to loading Bouncy Castle.

            This might be due to changes to the reflection code that I made for PDF-127, where I changed the SecurityManager reflection code to not happen in the constructor, but instead happen statically. That change should be investigated.

            Also, I noticed that Java 1.6 includes a Sun JCE provider, whereas Java 1.5 does not. This could indicate a conflict between BouncyCastle and the Sun JCE provider. Possibly a newer version of BouncyCastle may address any conflict.

            We should see if BouncyCastle is even necessary with Java 1.6. Potentially we may need it for its RC4 implementation.
