Re: [jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-3054) org.apache.geronimo.util.jce.X509V1CertificateGenerator appears to be deprecated with no replacement

Matt, thanks very much for your reply.

There may be an issue, with importing a PKCS7 key and its cert chain, 
but before I brought it up I wanted to make sure I had the latest 
(read: not deprecated) file.  Was this a clean pull from Bouncy 
Castle?  I can't tell because it is packaged with the org.apache 
namespace instead of the org.bouncycastle namespace.  I'm guessing 
you guys just did a refactor to change the namespace?  The latest 
BouncyCastle release has 
org.bouncycastle.x509.X509V1CertificateGenerator, which seems to be correct...
