Description
The sun.security.provider.certpath.OCSP API needs to be used by Java Plugin and WebStart. The usage of enum in the API is a problem because they compile their source to run on JDK 1.4 and up. So we need to remove the dependency on enum (which is 1.5 and up).
Comments
EVALUATION After more testing we determined this is not an issue. As long as the deployment code itself does not use the "enum" keyword it can still use APIs/classes that are enums.
