Thanks @Apache9 for looking into this PR > I think Josh is exactly asking why OpenJDK and IBMJDK use different implementations here. It's 'why', not 'how'... I'm not from IBM and I don't know the historical reasons why IBMJDK has it own SASL implementation. I would speculate that IBMSASL existed before OpenJDK ever existed. And I would speculate that IBM continues to use IBMSASL and not OpenJDK SASL(SunSASL) because of backward compatibility and licensing issues. INAL, IBM JDK is closed source product and I presume, using components from Copyleft products could cause licensing issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
