There is no announced date for the Java Cryptographic Extension
package. The idea is that this will be a drop-in extension to the
JDK, but not bundled as part of the JDK. It will be a US-only
extension package. The reason is that we cannot bundle encryption
APIs into the JDK due to U.S. export control restrictions, and we want
the JDK to remain freely exportable world-wide, as it is now.
