#1257 Error when Drag'n'Dropping Encypted PDF onto Jabref window (Bouncy Castle libs missing)

[Hannes Schniepp]

When I am drag'n'dropping an encrypted PDF file onto the main window of JabRef, I get the following error message "Java Bouncy Castle library not found. Please download and install it. For more information see http://www.bouncycastle.org/."

I went to the Bouncy Castle web page and downloaded all recommended *.jar files and tried putting them in different directories on my system, without success. However, I am not versed at all in Java, and I do not know how to find out what my Classpath is.

Even before downloading the Bouncy Castle jars I already these pertinent packages installed on my system (Linux Kubuntu Trusty Tahr, 32bit):

libbcmail-java
libbcpg-java
libbcpkix-java
libbcprov-java

Which version should I download and what I have to do for running bouncycastle with Jabref@Windows7?
I tried bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar and put it into an folder, which is in the path/classpath variable. But still it is not found.

(just a note for developers) Possibly including the libraries via dependencies helps: https://pdfbox.apache.org/1.8/dependencies.html -

Hannes, could you send me the PDF you have been trying? We are unsure whether the current JabRef code handles this situation better.
