Signing an Applet

-----------------------------------

So I finished programming a simple applet which happens to access a picture and font file. It works fine in the appletviewer but once I try viewing it in the browser I get security errors. It turns out I need to sign my applets. Anyone know any good tutorials on how to sign them? I'm not clear as to whether I need to get an official certificate so that the public can view my applets or if I can just generate a personal certificate.

I'm sort of cheesed that it's so hard to put up such a simple applet just because it has to read an image. Flash doesn't have such restrictions :?

Nevermind, got it working. Turns out you can sign your own apps without purchasing an official certificate. Still a lot of hassle if you ask me. This forces you to pack your applets in jar files, generate your own key and then sign the jar :?
