I'll ask another way: Is there any argument against compiling NSS with
@loader_path instead of current @executable_path?

Why is not a good idea? Do you know a better way of doing a XAdES-XL?
Anyway, if JSS is for java local apps, rather than Applets, that
should appear on JSS documentation.

Java can work with PKCS#12, PKCS#11, SunMSCAPI, OSX Keychain and NSS
(with a few bugs, as you can see).
The question here is: Can Oracle invoke NSS?

Quoting bsmedberg (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654939#c19):
"No, writing enterprise apps which poke into the Firefox certificate
store is not a desired use-case"

Is that the official position?
