Description

When building Commons VFS RC1 with IBM JDK 6 and IcedTea/OpenJDK 7, Jörg Schaible reported an issue with:

java.lang.RuntimeException: 
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: EC AlgorithmParameters not 
available".

..

The test tries to fetch https://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2.png

This seems like a bug in OpenJDK distributions and whatever SSL methods https://www.google.com/ requests that day.

However I don't think building should rely on www.google.com - if anything we should rely on https://www.apache.org/ - e.g. https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt which presumably won't go away soon.
