Then, this documentation is wrong, isn't it?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JSS

Java provides a JCE provider called SunPKCS11, see Java PKCS#11 Reference
> Guide<http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/technotes/guides/security/p11guide.html>,
> SunPKCS11 can be configured to use NSS module as the crytographic provider.
> If you are planning to just use JSS JCE provider as a bridge to NSS's FIPS
> validated PKCS#11 module, then the SunPKCS11 JCE provider may do all that
> you need. Note that Java 1.5 claimed no FIPS compliance, and Java 
> 1.6<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/enhancements.html>
