BC4J Tester won't run with SunJCE provider enabled in JDev 903

Question

I have a working BC4J project that I can access via the Tester and via code in JDev 903. The Module is deployed in 'Local' mode.
I go into <jdev_home>\jdk\jre\lib\security\java.security and add the following line:
security.provider.3=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
I can no longer run the BC4J Tester - I get "java.lang.NullPointerException" - that's it - in the log window when I try to run the tester. I can still access the BC4J Module via code, just as before enabling the SunJCE provider, its just the Tester that won't run. My code that uses the SunJCE provider runs fine.
I then comment out the new line in java.security, and the Tester runs fine again. (But, of course, my code that needs the SunJCE provider does not...)
Note that I added this provider as the lowest order provider - the following is how java.security is setup when JDev is installed:
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=com.sun.rsajca.Provider
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks,

(I need this provider for something else I'm doing which uses both the SunJCE provider and BC4J, independent of each other)

Hi,
Can you create a JClient project to test your application module? I have not found why it failed in Tester when using SunJCE privider, but found that if I create a simple JClient using the same application module, it work.
Thanks,
