bcprov-ext-jdk18on-1.78 missing OSGi manifest

[domagojcc]

The library has a plain Java manifest. It is missing OSGi entries, and it is thus not usable in any OSGi environment.

@domagojcc This should be resolved in 1.78.1; there are betas available on the website for it. I think this is a duplicate of #1621. Let us know if the fix there works for you! :-)

Use bcprov-jdk18on-1.78.1 the -ext- versions have been the same as the non "-ext-" versions for a while now, we're no longer releasing them.

We will get a redirect installed on Maven Central for this one. Having to get some help as the tool we usually use for deploy Maven updates appears unable to do it.

Can you easily clarify at which version these artifacts became equivalent?

[dghgit]

bcprov- without the ext. The ext originally signified we'd been advised that some of the algorithms in the jar had patents on them, somewhere, at this point all the ones we've been made aware of have expired.

We're trying to get a redirect set up in Maven as well, but our current publication point, while working well for the jars, is rejecting it.
