Im trying to parse a PEMKey using the code below, but throws an exception

JWK.parseFromPEMEncodedObjects(pemKey)

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "org.bouncycastle.openssl.jcajce.JcaPEMKeyConverter" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.centinal.ivs.internal.debug-ek2qFGWFf_LZms1VNF5tIw==/base.apk", ...

Hi,

Per JavaDoc, you'll need the optional BouncyCastle dependency:

https://static.javadoc.io/com.nimbusds/nimbus-jose-jwt/7.2.1/com/nimbusds/jose/jwk/JWK.html#parseFromPEMEncodedObjects-java.lang.String-

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
            <artifactId>bcprov-jdk15on</artifactId>
            <version>1.61</version>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
            <artifactId>bcpkix-jdk15on</artifactId>
            <version>1.61</version>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>

Hi
This issue has been reappeared on nimbus-jose-jwt-9.37.3 . To be able to use `org/bouncycastle/openssl/jcajce/JcaPEMKeyConverter` we need to add

            <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
            <artifactId>bcpkix-jdk18on</artifactId>
            <version>1.77</version>
            <scope>test</scope> 

to the class path which is not optimal.

Is this expected?
