Yes. That pretty much sums up the results we are
seeing, and confirms that handling of Zip files is
different for 1.5 and 1.6/6.0.
However, although it is currently listed as an
'In progress, bug' - I find this comment confusing..
"Evaluation: in 6.0, we will only read certficiates
for JAR files."
That *almost* implies to me 'we changed our minds,
and tightened the spec. without telling anyone - it will
stay that way - but we might document it somewhere'
(perhaps I read it wrong..)
The bug description field implies that the spec has not changed, but that the implementation is tighter.
I think the wording implies that the bug/RFE was found too late to get into the first release of 1.6.
Do you read that bug report as meaning that Sun
intends to change the behaviour of the 6.0 Plug-In
to again support signed Zip files?
I wouldn't be surprised to see, say, update 3 supporting signed zips again. The only reasons I can see against doing so are firewall policies that some companies may have, but that's pushing it.
