Re: [eclipse-dev] Extssh fails with IBM JDK 1.4.0
|
For the record:
I know Kevin well and have worked with him for a number of years (so I
appreciate his humour!)
It just shows how passionate he is about developing quality software.

On re-reading this note I realized that although meant in humour, I forgot
a few critical <grin>'s in there.
Apologies to those that feel I was slagging them off. I'll just take
myself out in the hall and slap myself around a few times, just to be fair.

Extssh fails with IBM JDK
1.4.0(Document link: Kevin

Thanks for the offer Tim, but John A. gave us a some useful background
about Hursley dropping SHA1PRNG from the JDK. He forwarded some mail which
I saw your name in the To: field in parts, so I know you're already
familiar with the fun. I think they (Hursley) weasled their way out of it
-- the wording in the JDK is a bit ambiguous but sounds to me like the
default names *should* be present, sigh.
We now have to figure out if we were using SHA1PRNG because we required
that *exact* algorithm or if it was just because that's the one used in the
examples in the JDK doc. Unfortunately the person who wrote the code isn't
at OTI anymore, and since returning from an extended parental leave Jeff
seems to have forgotten everything! :)
I appreciate the offer though! Maybe you can go slap a few of the Hursley
JDK guys around for me. It won't fix anything, but will make me feel a bit
better.

Do you want me to look into this, or do you have it covered?

We've discovered that the CVS connection method extssh generates NPE's with
the new IBM JDK 1.4.0 (Sept 17/02). This is due to a missing encryption
algorithm in that JDK version. See also
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23982.
We are investigating whether we have an incorrect dependency or if its a
problem with the JDK (we suspect later since this is the only JDK we've
failed against).
The workaround is to move to a different JRE or to use the ext connection
with an external ssh tool, but the latter will result in slower
performance.
We will let you know when we've sorted it out.
The Team team.
