The reason for the PTLS TLSProfile was because of a bug in theJSSE library
that wouldn't allow client authentication when starting TLS (instead of
SSL).

Can you provide more information? I don't understand the question.

Not currently but this could be fixed without too much trouble.

It depends on which TLSProfile you use. Both of them are configured with the
init() method but they have different configuration options. JSSE uses the
Keystore and PTLS uses PEM files.

Very cool, will it be an open source release?
