That sounds like a JCE class. In 1.4+ it comes with the JDK.

Normally you don't use vendor specific classes. You get at them via
the generic interfaces with strings to define which implementation you
want.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jce.html

However, the classes you want probably live in

F:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\jre\lib\jce.jar

Just put the jar on your ide's library path.
