We have an issue with building and running appserver on JDK 5.0 AMD64
Linux. We have run into this before and now we also see this
reported by someone on the GlassFish forum -
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=17639&tstart=45

The issue relates to absence of sunpkcs11.jar (and related files
possibly some .so files) in JDK 5.0 on AMD64 Linux versions. Currently,
appserver cannot be build on AMD64 Linux systems. The
reason is that appserver code (EESecuritySupportImpl.java) uses a
class (SunPKCA11) that is avilable only in the sunpkcs11.jar.


These files however do exist in JDK 6.0 AMD64 Linux builds. Since JDK 5.0 is the
primary JDK for building and running 9.1 release, I feel that not
having this would limit our users from running the appserver on a 64 bit Linux platform
on AMD boxes. Sun produces a whole bunch of AMD 64 based hardware,
and if the users chooses to install 64 bit Linux on it (like Ubantu),
they are out of luck.

The fact that this support is available on JDK 6.0 lead me to believe
that we could get this backported to JDK 5.0 too.
