Description
Startup of Bible Desktop via WebStart now proceeds to normally through the loading of the Jar files and then produces a Security Warning window indicating "The application's digital signature is invalid. Do you want to run the application". The warning area indicates that "The digital signature cannot be verified by a trusted source. Only continue if you trust the origin of the application".
This is often the result of signing the jar files for a java web start application with self generated (test) certificates. Jar files used for publicly accessible applications should be signed with certificates from recognized authorities to avoid this error.
GoDaddy provides recognized free certificates for open source projects, but thier certificates may be limited to SSL, not code signing. A google search on "Free Code Signing Certificates for Open Source Projects" may yield a cost free avenue to obtain such a certificate.
Just to be clear, the application now loads properly if this certificate is accepted, so JS-62 and JS-63 are resolved.
