They would be very useful for testing the SunPKCS11/NSS provider.
That's a question better suited for the security-dev@openjdk list.

CCed.  As I said, I would have posted here first, if there had been a public 
review
of the patch to begin with.  There wasn't.
The tests can be adapted to The testcases can be adapted to test other providers. But since they are meant for Ucrypto provider, I coded them to explicitly test against Ucrypto provider. Well, I thought some people may want to run these tests if their build (or JDK releases) contains Ucrypto provider. If build doesn't have Ucrypto provider, the tests will silently pass, not affecting the overall result.

Let me apologize again for accidentally broke the 7u putback guideline.
Majority of the changes are under the closed part of JDK, thus it didn't occur to me that I have to separate out the part that went into OpenJDK for a public review. Learned the lesson the hard way as you aren't the only one pointing this out.

I noticed you don't seem to have commented on how this breaks the jdk7u 
guidelines.
