A part of the build instructions won't work with Java >= 1.9

[ghost]

The extension mechanism has been removed from Java in its version 1.9:

This part of the build instructions rely on it:
"Copy the BountyCastle provider jar file from the local maven repository to the jre/lib/ext directory"

Ah thanks. We are still on java 1.8, but do you know how to solve that for java 9?

Putting the necessary JAR file(s) into the classpath should work, shouldn't it? I don't understand why it has been advised to put them into jre/lib/ext, it's really a bad idea.

Hi
that's the solution i've made in my branch, PR #859 so should work now with Bisq 0.5.3, if so please close the issue.

Issue is closed because of Java 10 support that was merged yesterday.
