No, to be honest I didn't put a whole lot of thought into which to 
choose here. I don't think I had any particular reasoning for choosing 
getDeclaredMethod, it just happened. This I think is a good enough 
change to warrant a new commit, along with making other local variables 
and formal params final where they can be (which is pretty much 
everywhere in this class), adding a class-level Javadoc, and older 
PolicyTool package fallback.

The backport patch is included here as well, because it also 
incorporates these suggestions of course. Seems better to keep these two 
patches in the same place since the code review between them should be 
just about identical (other than the change to accommodate lack of 
DirectoryValidator, they are identical).

Thanks,
