org/bouncycastle/openssl/jcajce/JcaPEMKeyConverter not found

[Mohammad Mahdi Amini]

Hi
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. Otherwise we will get class not fount exception.

Is this expected?

It seems like in the past we had a similar issue:

The Bouncy Castle dependencies are optional.

This means they must be explicitly included to be used.

Don’t use the test scope, unless you only need the BC classes to run tests in your project.
