    Subject: adding a certificate to an existing db (the easy way)

We are distributing an applet in a jar file for customers to set up on
their intranets, to be run via the Java Plugin 1.1. The jar file is
signed, and we wish to install our certificate in their identitydb.obj.
However, they may already have certificates installed, so we would need
to add ours, not redistribute an identitydb.obj. However, we want to
make this process as easy (automated) as possible. The easiest way I
can think of is to use javakey on their existing db (if any). However,
this would normally require distributing the entire JDK, which we do not
want to do. Is it legal to distribute just the Main class for javakey
and run it under the JRE? Or is there a better way of doing this I
don't know about? Thanks.
