Unfortunately the BouncyCastle project is known for badly breaking the
compatibility between releases, and this is an important component that
can't be ignored. Hopefully that's the exception and not the rule (the
other well know case being Guava).

This has nothing to do with Java. Upstream should have provided a proper
build script, try asking them. With Maven, Ant, or Gradle you dot not
have to care about the dependencies and the javac syntax.
