iText/BouncyCastle ClassNotFound org.bouncycastle.asn1.DEREncodable and org.bouncycastle.tsp.TimeStampTokenInfo

Question

I\'m trying to use iText Java. When you run the example \"how to sign\" the following error occurs:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bouncyca         


        

Answer 1

With itextpdf version 5.5.4 org.bouncycastle dependencies are marked as true. This means you MUST include those dependencies in your own pom, or you can run into classnotfound exceptions.
