would you be able to compile a fresh version of xml-security from our

OK. I get "ant jar" through with IBM SDK 1.4.1 on linux (redhat fedora 
core 1). Cannot test if this solves my problem, cause I got no cert with
extension handy.

Two classes with dependencies to sun-packages found:
org/apache/xml/security/
  - keys/content/x509/XMLX509SKI.java
      depends on sun.security.util.DerValue
  - keys/content/x509/XMLX509SubjectName.java
      depends on sun.security.x509.X500Name
Replacing sun by com.ibm does not work smoothly, because:
    [javac] 
/opt/java/xml-security/HEAD/xml-security/src/org/apache/xml/security
/keys/content/x509/XMLX509SKI.java:142: tag has private access in 
com.ibm.security.util.DerValue
    [javac]          if (dervalue.tag != DerValue.tag_OctetString) {

dervalue.getTag() seems to work.

I thank YOU,

P.S.: Applying the s/sun/com.ibm/ and .tag -> .getTag() changes, the
     compiler likes it (it compiles, ship it :),
     but some tests fail.
     The difference between IBM SDK 1.4.1 (SR2?) and
        Sun j2sdk 1.4.2_04:
