Package sun.security.ec does not exist

Question

I am trying to use the sun.security.ec module in Java on Win7. When trying to compile it gives this error:

package sun.security.ec does not exist

Where is sun.security.* Located in terms of a .jar file? Where can I download the .jar file?

Answer 1

This is part of the JDK (at least in JDK6), should be in classes.jar (where java.lang.String has almost everything else).

However, you should not directly access these implementation-specific classes. You must use this provider using standard interfaces such as java.security.spec.ECParameterSpec .
