Turns out I had upgraded my openJDK to version 1.7 and there is a jar 
file - sunjce_provider.jar file than needs to be copied in to the lib 
directory of James. This is obscurely documented in the config.xml file 
where it is easily overlooked. It would be far better to also mention 
this on the web page at http://james.apache.org/server/2/usingTLS.html 
which is the instructions that I was following to enable TLS/SSL 
connections.
