Please read the JCE install instructions in
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/jdk12/jce12_install.html

Basically, if you want to use the JCE as an "installed" (vs. "bundled")
extension, you have to copy the jce12-rc1-dom.jar file into the
extensions directory of your JRE/JDK installation, which is located in:

<java-home>\lib\ext [Win32]
<java-home>/lib/ext [Solaris]

Here <java-home> refers to the directory where the JRE was installed.

For example, if you have JDK 1.2
installed on Solaris, you need to edit the following file:

jdk1.2/jre/lib/security/java.security

Similarly, if you have JRE 1.2 installed on Solaris, you need to edit this
file:

jre1.2/lib/security

> Where is the documentation for the JCE API specification & reference?

It's included in the software you downloaded:

jce12-rc1-dom/doc/guide/API_users_guide.html
