Hi John,
I just wanted to pass along a summary of my web start issues I struggled
with yesterday and today. Suddenly I was getting weird 'could not
verify signature' error for the netcdf-4.1.jar from web start. A ton of
digging and running jarsigner -verify did nothing. Unfortunately, we
also just upgraded to the new 'Oracle' JVM (1.6.21 I think) and got a
new certificate from Verisign, so I was running in circles. Finally I
verified that the issue was really with netcdf-4.1.jar - it works with
netcdf-4.0.jar . So I cracked open the jar and started messing with the
META-INF entries to see if anything helped. Strangely, I removed the
META-INF/INDEX.LIST files and now it works. I have NO idea why, but I
thought I'd pass it along. Even stranger - the INDEX.LIST file also
exists in netcdf-4.0.jar, but doesn't seem to cause a problem. Perhaps
it is out of sync with the actual directories present and this is
confusing the jarsigner or web start jar verifier??? I really don't
have a clue, but thought I'd pass it along just in case you run into a
similar issue.
