I've noted that now it is difficult to run Java Web start files (JNLP) by Oracle for Java8, without a proper certificate, due to "security reason".It is breaking thousands of applications across the web space. I'm not a corporate Java developer and I'm not willing to spend 200$ / year for certificates, since this is my hobby. To setup Windows 8.1 to run my jar with self-signed certificate is too complicated for 90% of web users, since it require a lot of operations for the usual Windows user.
I have several questions:
1) How to avoid such "taxation" of developers to pay for certificates. The location of application on web is "certification" by itself. I think it is up to the users to decide is the web site safe or not. JavaWeb just provides a mechanism to run such applications. In any event, Java Web start is no much different than downloading exe program from the web and running on a desktop. Java web start just makes it easier. Now it is difficult.
2) Is it possible to move from Oracle Java product to other Java products to launch such applications in a more user-friendly way?
