Thanks for the heads up. We'll check with the jxta folks and see if
they use/expose the patented code.
We should move this discussion to tuscany-dev and report back to the
IPMC when its resolved.

I would if we could but it is not our code that has the dependency
but the jxta code - they import bouncycastle directly :-(

IIUC && RC the resolution to this is that we copied the non-patent-
related bouncycastle code into the geronimo-util module because
bouncycastle declined to produce an unencumbered release. I'd
suggest that if you don't need the patented code you use the geronimo-
util jar instead.
