           Summary: javaws fails to run signed application if unsigned files
                    are present under META-INF/
           Product: IcedTea-Web
           Version: hg
          Platform: all
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: NetX
        AssignedTo: omajid at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: omajid at redhat.com
                CC: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org


Some JNLP applications consist of jars that contain mostly signed, but some
unsigned files under META-INF/*. These applications work fine with the
proprietary javaws, but not with icedtea-web.

Arguably, having unsigned files under META-INF (other than signature related
files) is wrong, but many applications rely on this this nonetheless.

Some applications that demonstrate the behaviour:
