Older Java versions don't support SSL. The browser is happy to do https for you, but that doesn't help as we aren't doing http(s). Why Tiny SSL? It's available and helps make the jar as small as possible. It also avoids being tied into any particular browser API. I've run Mozilla on Linux as a client and it works just as well as IE on a Windows system.
