Edward:

When you look at the "java.security" file, you'll see:

-------------

# security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
#
# (The number 1 is used for the default provider.)
#
# Note: Statically registered Provider subclasses are instantiated
# when the system is initialized. Providers can be dynamically
# registered instead by calls to either the addProvider or
# insertProviderAt method in the Security class.

#
# List of providers and their preference orders (see above):
#
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun

-------------

The line that is commented out is part of the documentation
of this file, and is followed by the same line *not* commented
out.
