    Subject: JDK signing + Netscape

Question:

At this time, users need to use Java Plug-in and modify/create their
identitydb.obj file to browse a JDK signed applet using Navigator or IE.

Are any steps being taken to prevent these additional steps in the
future? If so, is there any estimate on how long it will be before
browsers can recognize JDK signed applets without having to use Java
Plug-in?

Thanks.
