Folks,

I have a quick question that seems like it should be easy to answer, but
I didn't find the answer in the Java Security Arch. docs.

I have an applet which I'd like to share with another set of
researchers. I am using JDK1.2beta4. I have created a keystore using
keytool and signed the applet using jarsigner. I have created a policy
entry which gives certain permissions to the applet

Now, I'm giving the researchers a copy of my source code along with my
compiled, signed jar file. I am also giving them a copy of my
.java.policy file so they know how to configure their policy file.

What else do I send them then? Do I export the certificate for this so
they can import it into their keystore? They should be able to run the
applet and possibly be able to recompile and resign it as well. Any
thoughts ...

thanks,

Steve.
