I'm currently waiting on a request for a certificate from CERTUM - who 
provide free certificates for OSS software (I hope!). I'll then release 
a signed version of 2.8b1 - which will be the last in the 2.8.0 series 
as soon as I receive it.

The recent Java updates, and more complex Apple code signing 
requirements have kept me busy - Jalview now has an official Apple ID, 
and I'm trying to integrate the codesign step into our release process 
for the Jalview installer.

this is due to a couple of issues -
the original jalview build script didn't create an index file - and so 
when the jarsigner operated on it, it didn't actually sign the index 
file, but created one after it was done. I've fixed the builder so 
JalviewLite will run without that warning. You can try it out in the 
'latest build of the current release branch'.

There are a couple of other wrinkles, however:

* If you link JmolApplet with Jalview, that needs to be fully signed in 
the same way (with the index created before hand) (again, this is fixed 
in the build system now)
* If you use the 'Mayscript' attribute, in order to use the applet 
Javascript api, you need to set the codebase property in the applet 
manifest, otherwise a warning will be raised. (still working on this..)

I'll most likely post an article on the website about all this, since 
getting all this right is pretty tricky - particularly for someone new 
to Java development. I'll also be updating the source building 
instructions to allow for specifying deployment URLs, etc.
