Yes, that class is only for compatibility with 1.3 JVMs. It will never be loaded by a 1.4+ JVM. Personally, I think that it is easier to simply grap JSSE 1.0 (the one for 1.3 JVMs) from Sun and set jsse.home in your build.properties file to wherever you unpack it. However, either of your options will work as well, provided that you remember to repeat it whenever you upgrade. > Have other folks built Tomcat using JDKs other than Sun's?
