Bug Description

When starting Eucalyptus for the first time, it asks you:

"Your java installation misses unlimited strength crypto policy.

Install involves modifying jre/lib/security, you can install by hand
or we can install it for you."

The link it provides is not directly informative about this. Are we unable to package the crypto JARs for some reason? If so, could we at least have a page on wiki.ubuntu.com with explicit instructions for Ubuntu users, and display that link?

I would also suggest that it not offer to do things for the user, if for no other reason than it means it will be offered during the initial package install. Printing appropriate information when the init script is started would seem sufficient.

I'm also not sure if the check for the unlimited strength JCE is actually working properly, in that I have it installed, but the init script's check fails.

Java unlimited strength crypto is no longer needed. This check should be removed.
