This is more of a notification to say I disabled the webstart task in Jenkins. I forgot it was even running and it includes signing jars with our now-expired code signing cert (I let it expire figuring only the retired applet was using it)
Signing with the expired cert was breaking the build so disabling that was a quick fix. I don't think we use the Webstart files for anything anyway?
Maybe one day somebody will want to do something with webstart. Alternatively if we decide to abandon it we can probably take out those bits from the Gradle script instead.
