    Subject: Problems getting signed applets to work in 1.2beta2

I tried to do the simple thing:

Create an applet, JAR it with

jar -cf lister.jar *.class

Create keys:

keytool -genkey -alias madhu -keysize 512

Create a signed JAR file

jarsigner -signedjar signed.jar lister.jar madhu

All of this goes well, but when I use appletviewer to test the
applet, there is a 20 second delay, then a ClassNotFoundException
looking for Lister.class (the applet class itself).
I have tested the unsigned JAR file, and it works great.
I even unjarred the signed.jar file and all the entries looked
OK too.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is appletviewer broken?
Is jarsigner broken?
