Anything that uses JNA to call native libraries in the IDE. Yes, RC builds are not signed. Ironically you might also be seeing this error (or a different error) because JNA library loading was changed in NB16. You can see a list of binaries that are signed (as well as JARs with native libraries that have to be extracted, signed and repackaged) in the script at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/nbbuild/installer/mac/newbuild/commonfiles/signNativeBinaries.sh NBPackage has similar code, but written in Java, to codesign all relevant files in the IDE or RCP application, along with the bundled JDK if included.
