Ok, thanks for the heads up. Before it would give a warning, but if this API was finally removed from Java, then is time to find an alternative...

Upon closer examination, I found that there is a public Base64 Encoder/Decoder in java 8:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Base64.html

However, the PKCS7 encoding classes appear to be available only for internal use, and only an external crypto library such as Bouncy Castle would enable such encoding without any errors or warnings.

Until we find a replacement for the internal API, you should be able to build the mode, I also use Gradle and only get warnings.

No longer needed as the mode uses gradle to create the packages and bundles.
