Adam> crypto code?
javax.crypto and a security provider that has a bunch of crypto

Yeah, we don't have those.
There might be a partial javax.mail in ClasspathX, but I haven't
looked in a long time.

It might violate your license with Sun.
Also I don't know if it would work.

Adam> is that supported?
Yes. See the status page on the gcj web site for information about
