Dear Sir,

The current situation with Java Security makes it very difficult for a developer to actually deploy functional applets. How can we possibly expect the average user to open up a command prompt and actually type in cryptic commands with arcane arguments to import certificates and the like. Please, in the next JDK revision please try to make the Security extensions workable such that developers have an incentive to develop directly for the plug-in, rather than force them to write two versions of their work: one for IE and the other for Navigator.

Thanks,

Sajid Raza
