[eclipse-dev] Extssh fails with IBM JDK 1.4.0

["Kevin McGuire" <Kevin_McGuire@xxxxxxx>]

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.
