JAR signing problem

There can be a nasty problem with some Java Web Start versions. Since jGridstart 1.10 all JARs are referred from a single JNLP file. Some users have reported the error "jar resources in jnlp file are not signed by same certificate". I have been able to reproduce it with JRE 1.6.0 up to and including JRE 1.6.0_13. From 1.6.0_14 and onwards this problem seems to be solved.
