FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : SuSE 8.1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
There is no commandline option for keytool allowing you to
specify an additional classpath to search for providers.
This limits the usefullness of the -provider option
greatly.
Now you need to put your provider in the ext directory to
be able to use it with keytool.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.keytool -genkey <whatever> -provider <some provider not
in ext and not JCE for example
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider>

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected: Use the provider specified, if I could somehow
provide a classpath to it.
Actual:keytool error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
keytool error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
No workaround, you need to put the .jar in ext.
