      Integration of Native GSS provider caused Java GSS tests to fail. This resulted in Java SPNEGO tests to fail.

      Native GSS provider now expands the list of available mechanisms, and now includes all the mechanisms available from native platform. Solaris 10 provides support for Kerberos, SPNEGO and Diffie-Hellman mechanisms.

      When using SPNEGO, we acquire credentials for all the available mechansisms. Java GSS provider provides support for Kerberos and SPNEGO, but not Diffie-Hellman mechanism. Hence the "mech_dh" is incountered, native GSS
      provider is invoked. Native GSS calls native GSS-API gss_acquire_cred(). However since the credentials for mech_dh are not available, it throws an exception.

      Need to update Java SPNEGO due to changes introduced by Native GSS provider
