Yes, that class is only for compatibility with 1.3 JVMs.  It will never be 
loaded by a 1.4+ JVM.  Personally, I think that it is easier to simply grap 
JSSE 1.0 (the one for 1.3 JVMs) from Sun and set jsse.home in your 
build.properties file to wherever you unpack it.  However, either of your 
options will work as well, provided that you remember to repeat it whenever 
you upgrade.

Gump has built Tomcat regularly with Kaffe by having the JSSE 1.0 jars 
installed.
