I'm trying to do a Google App Engine project on OS X (latest and greatest). I'm using classes from javax.crypto, and I'm seeing an AccessControlException thrown when I try to initialize an instance of the Mac class. Here's the stack trace:

WARNING: Nested in java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:

Any ideas on

1 - what went wrong and how fix it

2 - if it's not fixable (I know Apple has not been the best supporter of Java in recent years), what's an alternative approach?
