Hi, For many years I have used local web pages on my laptop instead of using ppt for lectures. This has enabled me to have Jmol and JSpecView at hand and for 2-way interaction between them. (Originally I used MDL CHIME) I was horrified to discover that having set an assignment in our computer l

That would be good. I'll believe it when I see it. That's not one of options they mention in the blog. Seems to me that would have been the obvious solution. On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 8:30 AM, Nicolas Vervelle wrote: > You misunderstood me. > > You will need to sign Jmol applet even to test it loca

You misunderstood me. You will need to sign Jmol applet even to test it locally, I agree, this is a new requirement. But locally, you can add your own self-signed certificate (or the own currently in Jmol SVN) in your repository of trusted certificate authorities : your self-signed certificate wil

nope. Read the blog carefully. https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/code_signing_understanding_who_and <<*Developers* must sign any browser applet or Web Start application that they produce. Signatures on other application types (such as back-end server applications) are optional.>>

Hi Bob, Hard constraints are indeed being added to Java for applets and JNLP :-( I think it will still be possible to use self signed applets locally for development by circumventing this mechanism : a trusted certificate is nothing more than a certificate issued by a root certificate authority w

Sure they realize. I think we're lucky Java still exists at all, actually. I'm guessing Oracle is running fastest. On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 7:36 AM, Angel Herráez wrote: > This is building up on my previous feeling: > while trying to protect themselves from responsibility on what > malicious Java

This is building up on my previous feeling: while trying to protect themselves from responsibility on what malicious Java applets might do, Oracle is just killing their own Java business -- everyone will run away and move to another platform. Do they realize? ---

Kind of a doomsday, I'm afraid. One of the aspects of this (if I have it right, and I think I do) is that *all Java developers who which to build any applet and run it on their local installations will have to have trusted signed certificates.* As far as I can tell, this is pretty much the end of
