New security dialogs coming to a Tiger update near you.

A few months ago, I blogged about how we plan to revamp the user experience in Java Web Start and Java Plug-in in Mustang. After considering all the inputs from the Java community, we have decided to make the new security dialogs available in the upcoming J2SE 5.0u6. Here are some screenshots from 5.0u6:
Signed application with valid certificate:
More information on the valid certificate:
Hopefully, it will significantly improve the deployment user experience of your applications very soon.

P.S. Thanks Andy Herrick in the Java Deployment team for backporting this feature; the codebases between Mustang and Tiger are quite different, so this backport is actually more difficult than it seems.

Hello,
I suggest that you enable antialiasing for the large title. Even the Java 5 AA will do a fine job for this font size. Also, you may make the buttons a bit wider and use a smaller gap between "Run" and "Cancel".
Best regards,
Karsten

It looks great!
I would like to see how the untrusted/unvalid certificate.dialog looks. That's the scary one...

I would be great if the automatic JRE installer installs allways the newst JRE if the JNLP wants it. Actuall no update greater >1.5._02 is possible - may someone at SUN should keep an eye on this.
best regards,
Jens

Stanley, that is the best news in Java deployment for a long time.
Thanks for making it happen.

Great!
What about having a tabbed pane to show summary and detailed information about the certificate (in More Information dialog), instead of having another link to display the details.

Hi Stanely,
A good start, I wonder if this is enough. If you compare it to html, flash 8.5 run time or click one. For example... in html *IT DOES NOT DISPLAY* a screen if one goes to a "certified" site.
Can you guys look at no screen at all for certified sites from a usability?
It does not change any tech.
JNLP is realy good idea! If not for it... all the apps would ship w/ their own Java and then you would have 18 javas on users pc's as per javalobyy thread.

This is actually good news. It is pretty unfortunate that after about two years, such improvements are still not available to 64bit platforms... Don't you think that making technologies like JWS available on popular platforms is somewhat more important than what's basically mostly a cosmetic revamp ?

Is there a way to customize the security warning? I would like to place my logo somewhere on that warning window to reinforce for the end user the relationship between the warning and my web page.
