Description
sun.security.x509.AlgorithmId -> sun.security.ec.ECKeyFactory

SunEC provider is added in JDK 7 and this hard dependency is no longer needed. Hence this dependency should be removed.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX The public KeyFactory API should be used to obtain an ECKeyFactory.

EVALUATION A Sun internal provider was being used to obtain an EC KeyFactory, since a public provider id not exist. However a public provider for the EC KeyFactory now exists.
