JCE 1.2.1 expired on July 27, 2005

This is real bummer! Most of the programs using the JCE suddenly stop working throwing weird exceptions. It seems that the culprit was the digital certificate for JCE 1.2.1 had expired! The solution is either to upgrade to JCE 1.2.2 or JDK 1.4.

Upgrading to JDK 1.4 is not an option for us, that leaves JCE 1.2.2. Guess what? Looking at the JCE 1.2.2 documentation at Sun's website, a glaring pink message informs us that JDK 1.3.1 has entered EOL process and that JCE 1.2.2 as an optional package for JDK 1.3.1 will EOL March 30, 2006!!

What does that mean? Does it mean that the JCE 1.2.2 will also stop working after March 30, 2006? So does it mean that our only option is to upgrade to JDk 1.4!?
