Strange I cannot open bugs.openjdk.java.net now.

I am planning to make it compatible in the delta-patch for jake:

     public static void loadProviderByClass(
             String provClass, String arg, ClassLoader cl) {
         Provider prov;
+        if (provClass.equals("sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11")) {
+            // For compatibility, SunPKCS11 is loadable with -providerClass.
+            loadProviderByName("SunPKCS11", arg);
+            return;
+        }
         .... loading class ....

Mandy suggested we only support this single class.
