Java Security File

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If the only option to make the Narrator work is to alter the java security
file, please include a .bat file or some alternative easy way for the user
to easily alter these settings with one or two clicks.

I have created a "NarratorUpdateJavaSecurity.jar" file to do this. You need to 
copy 
the file into "<JREHOME>\lib\security" and run it. I could not create one which 
automatically finds  <JREHOME> because there could be multiple <JREHOME>s,all 
of 
which might not be referred to by any system variables. 

"NarratorUpdateJavaSecurity.jar" is attached to this issue.

So, I guess we need a few simple steps for users to install this and find 
JREHOME.  I
guess this is a major barrier to widespread use.  Can we brainstorm other ways 
of
avoiding this issue?

Agreed it is a bummer. Nuwan do you have any creative solutions?  
Could we provide a one time "installer" which checks the paths and folders and 
assures or modifies the environment to meet our expectations?

It only saves one step, bu tit is a big step.

Based on our discussion of 4/19, Nuwan said he would create a desktop version, 
which
would check if there is a more recent version available on line and download it 
only
in that case. This would require a first time installation, but the user would 
not
have to modify their security privileges. Another benefit is that subsequent 
download
times would be faster as we don;t need to download the app every time.

Nuwan - please think about how this interacts with the ability to send people 
URLs
for individual Narratives.
