java-web-start

I've developed an open source program, WPCleaner, which is distributed through Java Web Start. Current version is available at http://site4145.mutu.sivit.org/WikiCleaner/WikiCleaner.jnlp With the recent updates in Java, it becomes more and more difficult to deploy Java applications through Java Web Start when you need the application to have a few permissions (writing in the preferences, accessing other web sites, ...) My application was self-signed, which was ok before but new updates require users to accept the application every time they run it, not just once and for all if they wish. So, I

I'm deploying an application using JAWS , and it worked until late 2013 when I got a warning, and then this morning Java completely blocked it. The message in French is: Application bloquée par les paramètres de sécurité Vos paramètres de sécurité ont bloqué l'exécution d'une application auto-signée avec une version obsolete ou arrivée à expiration de Java. which would translate roughly as: Application blocked by the security settings Your security settings have blocked from running an application that has been self-signed with an obsolete or outdated Java. The grammar is not that clear, the

I signed my JWS application MemorizEasy with a key whose alias is: memofile.reference.emma.jar=/Users/simpatico/.netbeans/6.8/modules/ext/emma.jar I don't remember why I chose such a long alias. I suspect it was memo only, but in my project settings I have: jnlp.signjar.alias=memofile.reference.emma.jar=/Users/simpatico/.netbeans/6.8/modules/ext/emma.jar I'm now updating the application and using maven I need to specify the alias as: <keystorealias>memofile.reference.emma.jar=/Users/simpatico/.netbeans/6.8/modules/ext/emma.jar </keystorealias> Yet that doesn't work. Trying another key with

This question already has an answer here: Java: Clear the console 11 answers I have output messages displayed on the Java console for an application that started using webstart. Instead of the user manually clearing message, is there a way of clearing console messages in code? These messages are printed at the rate of about 1000 per second and seem to end up using too much memory, i could have stopped the printing to console, but the requirement is to always have it. You will not be able to clear that console, unless you find some handle on the classes for that console (which I doubt you would

Since the update of Java 8u40 our OSX users have not been able to type anything into the application and the application also does not even gain focus. I have tried other Web Start examples and I have the same issue, so it isn’t just us. I went to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/webstart/examplesIndex.html and launched both Web Start demo’s on that page. I can double-click in the fields and it appears it wants to rename or edit text but the caret doesn’t show up and typing doesn’t work. Also, Finder (or whatever app I had touched last) is still on the Mac title/tool bar. Is
