    Subject: Certificate classes in java.security.cert

The certificate classes in java.security.cert and javax.security.cert have =
no common inheritance and are almost identical. The java.security.cert =
package seems to be more complete (in the sense of having more classes) =
than the javax.security.cert, so what is the point of javax.security.cert. =
How is one supposed to bridge the two separate classes. For example, if I =
want to use a java.security.cert.X509Certificate (retrived from a =
keystore) with the SSL package which accepts only javax.security.cert.X509C=
ertificate

Thanks in advance,
Vishal
