Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
It appears that the PKCS11 version is not supported in the JRE/JDK for Windows 64 bit systems.

  From what I've read there were not enough criteria to test on the 64bit Windows version back when 64bit JAVA was released.

I comprehend this and I understand your decision, I am merely asking you to review if this argument is still valid.

JUSTIFICATION :
Imposslbe to release a 64 bit Windows version of our software because it's simply not supported/available.

Our clients oftenly run systems which use more than 3GB or memory and hence a 32 bit process would fail to even start, this results in a higher cost for our clients.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
sunpkcs11.jar in lib/ext for 64 bit JDK/JRE for Windows
ACTUAL -
Missing sunpkcs11.jar in lib/ext for 64 bit JDK/JRE for Windows

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import any sun.security.pkcs11.*
---------- END SOURCE ----------
