You don't need to sign the app if you're willing to have Java ask for 
confirmation before just about anything you do, e.g. to open a file. You 
do need to sign if you want all those verification steps to go away. 
Most people seem to want their JWS app to run with full permissions to 
do anything they want to the client machine.
