Currently to construct a NimbusJwtEncoder with a single key takes something like the following:
OctetSequenceKey jwk = new OctetSequenceKeyGenerator(256)
.keyID(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
.algorithm(JWSAlgorithm.HS256)
.issueTime(new Date())
.generate();
JWKSource<SecurityContext> source = new ImmutableJWKSet<>(new JWKSet(jwk));
NimbusJwtEncoder encoder = new NimbusJwtEncoder(source);
whereas to do the converse in NimbusJwtDecoder is simpler:
NimbusJwtDecoder decoder = NimbusJwtDecoder.withSecretKey(key).build();
It would be nice if NimbusJwtEncoder offered similar behavior:
SecretKey key = ...
NimbusJwtEncoder.withSecretKey(key).build(); // or
NimbusJwtEncoder.withSecretKey(key).keyId(...).build(); // etc.
KeyPair keyPair = ... // RSA or EC
NimbusJwtEncoder.withKeyPair(keyPair).build(); // or
NimbusJwtEncoder.withKeyPair(keyPair).keyId(...).build(); // etc.

Can I work on this?
