Hi,
If you have tried to build the most recent version of OpenJKD
in the book (1.8.0.121) and run the tests, you may have seen
errors like the following:
------------
Execution failed: `main' threw exception: java.lang.Exception: Test Failed
com/sun/crypto/provider/Cipher/AES/TestAESCiphers/TestAESWithDefaultProvider.java:
Test AES ciphers with different modes and padding schemes with default
provider
-----------
And some similar errors. This is scary, since it seems to imply
the .security. classes. But the errors are in the tests, not in
the program, as may be inferred from
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8170245. Note that
those tests seem to fail only when unlimited-crypto is enabled.
I still have to verify that the tests really pass when the patch
is applied to jdk8 (only jdk9 seems to have been fixed upstream).
But if so, I wonder what to do:
- include the patch as optional (it's a big one)
- just add a sentence telling to not worry about those failures
- just tell that a few tests (about 30 out of about 6000) are known to
fail...
I'd go with the third option.
