The “new” was introduced for some reason in JDK 1.8 documentation but this has
been there since JDK 1.0 documentation which I can’t find but it’s also there
since JDK 2.0 [1].
The deployment guide will be updated.

Well, in Java 8 is part of the javafx_ant_task reference [1]
and advertised as being the new and more efficient way to sign jars [2]
Anyway, perhaps the deprecation message for could be
enhanced to point to https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/signjar.html as
the recommended way to sign jars.
This is only signing via the mechanism, which was never fully
supported or part of any standard. To sign webstart applications (even FX apps)
just use jarsigner or the associated ant signjar task.

Hi Chris,
well I think reason number 1 is not correct. The definition of self
signed depends on who created the signing key. If you created it
yourself, it is a self signed jar and will rightfully be blocked.
If you however obtained the signing key from a Certification Authority,
that java
Hi Stefan,
Yes, it is being deprecated. It will continue to function as it has. Two main
reasons for the deprecation are:
1. Self signed jars are blocked and sign as blob is a self signed jars.
2. There will be a replacement for modules that will be better.

Hi,
so blog signing as deprecated.
What are the reasons for deprecating blog signing? Are there alternatives?
How do I sign a webstart application?
Stefan
David,
Please review these changes to deprecate the blob signing from the Java
Packager.
