Self-signing tool [message #1219964] Sat, 07 December 2013 13:34 Go to next message

Once I had JDK installed but since I use Eclipse at one point I decided
I did not need it and uninstalled it.

Now, however, the applet in my sig below is now giving a warning that
says that

"Running unsigned applications like this will be blocked in a future
release because it is potentially unsafe and a security risk."

So I've decided to self-sign my applet. To do so, from what I've found
out so far, I have to use a JDK tool.

Is there by chance a self-signing tool in Eclipse that I do not know about?

Also if I have to install JDK, and since JDK contains JRE, should I
unistall JRE? (This question of course is not related to Eclipse, but
it's related to the former one.)

Thanks,

emf

I would not. My practice is to install a separate JDK that doesn't
disturb whatever JRE I'm running on my host so that updates to my host
base software do not affect my development in Eclipse. And I'm in
complete control of what Eclipse is using. So, I download and explode a
JDK on a path like /home/russ/dev/jdk1.7.0_25 and wire Eclipse up to it
using eclipse.ini (but, that's not important) and especially in Window
-> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs.

Best of luck.
