[security-dev 01547]: Re: PING: [PATCH FOR REVIEW]: 6763530: Fix breakage of NSS-based Elliptic Curve Cryptography in OpenJDK6

[Michael StJohns]

Hi Andrew - 

I really need to work on fleshing out my emails... :-/  

The _20 release of the normal (non-OpenJDK) is missing this update.  I had thought that this fix was supposed to be back-ported to the closed JDK 6 release.  I've got the OpenJDK built on my local machine, but the folks I'm working with would rather use the pre-packaged Windows version etc etc etc... *sigh*.

Thanks - Mike
