cannot resolve symbol class X500Name

[wong_powah]

Why this compile error?
ASNName.java:86: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class X500Name
location: package x509
return new sun.security.x509.X500Name(mName);

even though
I have:
import java.security.*;
in my .java file.

export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/java14/jre/lib/security.jar

The /usr/java14/jre/lib/security/java.security file has this line:
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun

# java -version

import java.security.*

will import
java.security.x509 (if it existed)

but will not import either
java.security.x509.X500Name
sun.security.x509

The first because packages don't nest. The package
java.security.x509.X500Name would not be not inside the package
java.security.x509 (if either existed)

The second because java != sun.

HTH.
