Webstart security warning #15

Closed kthoms closed 10 years ago

kthoms commented 10 years ago

When starting the application with the javaws command, a security warning dialog is raised: "This application will be blocked in a future Java security update because the JAR file manifest does not contain the Permissions attribute. Please contact the Publisher for more information."

Environment: Mac OSX Mavericks, Java 1.7.0_21

After accepting the warning, the application did not start.

Signing certificates cost several hundred dollars and I am not even sure individual developers can get one. Although I have not tried this recently, p2-browser build produces standalone rcp app you should be able to run locally. That's the best I can suggest... unless somebody is willing to donate money for the certificate ;-)

I'm not sure if that warning is due to missing Jar signing, the warning message more indicates that the "permissions" attribute is missing in the MANIFEST. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/manifest.html

I gave up trying to make jnlp work. Just build p2-browser locally and start it as plain rcp app. Instructions in the readme are tested on OSX 10.9 with java 7u45.
