Your CLASSPATH should contain jce.zip before any references to any JDK
zip file.

Note that you don't *need* to explicitly add any JDK zip file to your
CLASSPATH. For some reason, people do this anyway, (as a short of
rabbit foot amulet, I think :-)) but the simpler CLASSPATH like so

% setenv CLASSPATH <your-JDK-directory>lib/jce.zip

is sufficient. The java and javac scripts will automatically get
the the system classes.

This is certainly a FAQ about JCE - we should probably state this more
forcefully in the JCE documentation.
