You're right, the requirement for a network connection is really bad. But -
I used this in the xml-security sub-project. I do load the cryptographic
service provider (the JCE imlementation) from a location outside the US (I
didn't want to put the cryptographic stuff onto the Apache site which is
inside the US), so the JCE is downloaded from Australia. In that particular
case, the people from the other project (http://www.bouncycastle.org) are
very helpful and support this behaviour.
