Unsigned (and self-signed) jar-files have become the unwanted
step-child of oracle.

I think I read, that if you rename the properties to let them
start with certain "safe" prefixes, then it might still work.
(At least for a while until they maybe turn that off, too.)

There is supposed to be a feature "jnlp-template", where you
embed not the exact jnlp into the signed jar-file, but only
a template version with "*" substituted for those dynamic parts.

I tried that a while ago, and it didn't work for me, which means
that our clients are still stuck at Java 6.

I recently posted here about my jnlp-template problems, but either
no one saw it or no one knew an answer. No one was inclined to post
a followup. The post's subject was
  "difficulties with using signed jnlp template"
its message-id is: <slrnlf9tf8.ngg.avl@gamma.logic.tuwien.ac.at>
