sun/security/x509/SubjectInfoAccessExtension.java:

This class looks fine for me except that the SubjectInfoAccessSyntax is introduced from RFC3280, so I think it would be better change line 50 from RFC5280 to RFC3280.

It was introduced in a previous RFC, but I think if the definition is not changed in a newer RFC, using the new RFC in the document is not a bad thing.

This is the process I would choose regarding old and new spec:

If you're writing something new, always try to use the new spec, and document it. For existing codes, if there's no enhancement in the new spec, simply update the document link in the codes to point to the new one. Otherwise, keep the old document link until the codes is updated to reflect the new features, and then update the document link.

Does this sound rational?

Thanks

Hi All

Can you take a review of this RFE?

 6780416: New keytool commands/options: -gencert, -printcertreq, -ext
 bug: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6780416
 webrev: http://hgrev.appspot.com/show?id=3077

The spec of the 3 new commands/options is inside the evaluation section of the bug report.

The fix is mainly on KeyTool.java, with changes in Resources.java for l10n strings. Some X.509 files are changed to provide new constructor, new constants etc. A new class SubjectInfoAccessExtension.java is created for the extension. The KeyToolTest.java regression test are updated to cover the new commands/options.

If you find the webrev too long, you might only review a part of it.

Thanks
Max
