JOGL 1.x no longer works in webstarts
Posted: Thu 22. Sep 2011, 12:24
I tried to run a jReality webstart this morning and received an error message complaining that the jogl jars are unsigned. I then tried a jReality Developer Tutorial webstart and got the same error.
I followed this up using google search and found that, indeed, since Sept. 17 the JOGL 1.x jarfile we are using is no longer signed by the responsible parties at Oracle. Details can be found at this post on the JOGL forum:

This post also describes a solution, basically involving copying the jar files and signing them oneself. The post is written by Julien Gouesse, who has also posted on this forum.
Are others having the same problem with their jReality webstarts, or is there some other way to access the right jogl.jar file which doesn't require me to make a copy and sign it myself? Can jReality project offer a solution that the whole community can use until jReality has switched over to JOGL 2?
