Java 7 update 45 broke my Web Start SWT application

Question

I maintain an Eclipse RCP application launched with WebStart. Java 7 u45 made some security changes, and now my application crashes on startup.

I\'ve added to the manifes

Answer 1

I have experienced the same issue and managed to solve it by doing following:

In all manifest files (for each JAR in your RCP project) add these attributes:

Application-Name: My App Name
Permissions: all-permissions
Codebase: *
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
Trusted-Library: true

Second part of solution is to make jnlp properties secure by adding jnlp prefix. I have found solution here. You need to do this for framework properties (osgi, eclipse..) and for your properties E.g. instead of:

use

Download eclipse launcher with sources from here

In web start launcher you need to change back property names to old values (without jnlp prefix). You can do that by adding this part of source into main method of WebStartLauncher class.

Properties properties = System.getProperties();
// copy properties to avoid ConcurrentModificationException
Properties copiedProperties = new Properties();
copiedProperties.putAll(properties);
