Can't use applet because of security issues #179

Hello,

I've been using JChemPaint Applet embedded in my web application for some months and it worked great, until some days ago when this message poped up: "your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running". When investigating a bit I've found this page: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml where it says: "The application that you are running is blocked because the developer has not met with the security guidelines implemented in Java 7 Update51. It is in your best interest to contact developer or publisher of this application and let them know about the application being blocked. Also provide developers with these links that gives details about implementing secure practices in the code for the application. JAR File Manifest Attributes for Security - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/manifest.html Java SE 7 Security Documentation - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/ Secure Coding Guidelines for the Java Programming Language, Version 4.0 - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/seccodeguide-139067.html " Would it be possible for you to sign the Applet as recommended in the Java web page? Thank you!

I'm no longer working on JCP. The best option you have at the moment is to compile the applet yourself from source. On 3 Feb 2014 14:46, "LaiaNavarro" notifications@github.com wrote:
