Why am I getting package javax.crypto does not exist

Question

When I compile a class using javax.crypto.Mac I get this error message?

package javax.crypto does not exist

Answer 1

OK, this was a mistake on my part. The Ant file I was using to compile the code had this attribute on the javac task:

bootclasspath="${java.home}/lib/rt.jar" 

Doh. You can add the JCE jar like this:

bootclasspath="${java.home}/lib/rt.jar:${java.home}/lib/jce.jar"
