Java 1.8 jnlp on OS X

[Michael Hall]

Not sure this is a proper list for much anymore except discussion but that might be all this really calls for right now.
I’m trying to figure out how to run some jnlp with java 1.8. That now seems to set the default security setting to High. 
So you need to sign with a valid certificate. 
Why not the Apple Developer ID one? 
I exported that and got it into a keystore…
Your keystore contains 1 entry

that I’m trying to use to sign but I get this…

jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: eg.  eg must reference a valid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key certificate chain.

I’m not sure if the problem is that there is no public key entry in the keystore. Or no CA cert for Apple in the cacerts file - there doesn’t appear to be one. Assuming I can figure out how to get the public key entry for the developer ID cert in the keystore the problem is the Apple CA cert.
Is there any way to get one?
Is there any reason not to get one?

If this isn’t the way to go I’ve heard that signing certs are reasonably priced. Any suggestions where to get one in this ‘cheap' category?

Is JWS just not the way to go anymore? Go with JavaFX, or…?
