JCE on Mac OS X

I had to install JCE with unlimited strength policy on my MacBook. Usual way: go to Oracle pages and download JCE manually. Luckily I’m using brew cask.

$ brew cask install jce-unlimited-strength-policy

And quick test it’s installed

If JCE unlimited strength policy is not installed, then returned value is 128.
