Hi all,
just seen this:

New security requirements for RIAs in 7u51 (January 2014)
https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/new_security_requirements_for_rias

luckily we have some time to update all our stuff for this :-) ...
So in the meantime we have to choose how to publish Tutorials/Demos in
the Web Site (if keep the current way, or if change).

In detail:

> Code signatures from a trusted authority. All code for Applets and Web Start 
> applications must be signed, regardless of its Permissions attributes.
now our signed jars are self-signed, we have to check if at least
self-signed jars will continue to work ... because an Apache Sign
Certificate is something that over last years arise many times but up
to now it's not available ... anyway I think that with these changes
in Java SE we have a strong reason for requesting it.
Maybe with a Signer Apache Service on published (released) jars ?
I have to ask ... Roger, could you ask something like this even to Board ?

> Manifest Attributes
we have to update our build process to include that info, at least in
our Tutorials/Demos jars


I'll open a jira issue to track this.
Maybe an INFRA issue for the generic signing service infrastructure
could be useful ...


Comments, suggestions ?

Bye,
Sandro
