Java Virtual Machine

Jasypt needs Java Standard Edition, version 1.6 or higher.

If you are going to use strong encryption algorithms (like TripleDES), you may have to download and install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.

Also note that from jasypt 1.8, ICU (icu4j) will be used for normalizing Unicode if it is present in classpath, even if Java >= 6 is used (nevertheless, icu4j and java.text.Normalizer implementations are completely compatible).
