If "current" means JCE1.1, the answer is yes.

We have rewritten JCE. The new JCE (1.2) will be provided
as a Java extension to JDK1.2. A beta release of JDK1.2 will
be available very soon.
It includes:
DES (ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB)
DES-EDE (ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB)
PBE (PKCS#5 password-based encryption)
Diffie-Hellman key exchange
Check out
http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.2/earlyaccess/index.html
for the new JCE APIs.
We are planning to release JCE1.2ea (early access) by the end of October.
Thanks,
Jan
