I've tried to use the jdk classes, but at a point I was confronted with using 
either internal sun.* packages, which partly weren't contained in the JRE, 
copying the sun sources or using bouncycastle.
I don't think we will get rid of the bc jar in the near future - but this only 
applies to xml signature and extended hashing/cipher algorithm, so the 
dependencies for the typical use aren't affected
