Cause of the issue:
Signed Java Web Start applications and applets that contain signed and unsigned components could potentially be unsafe unless the mixed code was intended by the application vendor. As of the Java SE 6 Update 19 release, when a program contains both signed and unsigned components, a warning dialog is raised.
Solution :
For applications and applets that do not require unsigned components, the
To fix the popup you need to add and extra attribute called Trusted:Library : true into the manifest file.
How to add attribute to manifest file:
Basic command to create a jar file is :
jar cfm jar-file manifest-addition input-file(s)
m option indicates that you want to merge information from an existing file to the manifest file of the jar file you are creating.
manifest-addition is the name( or path and name) of the existing text file whose content in our case will be either

Solution :
Trusted-Only
AttributeFor applications and applets that do not require unsigned components, the
Trusted-Only
attribute should be used. No warning dialog will be displayed and an application or applet that loads a jar file containing this attribute will not load any untrusted classes or resources. This attribute prevents a signed application or applet from being re-purposed with unsigned components. You can specify Trusted-Only
: true in the manifest file. For example:Manifest-Version: 1.0 Trusted-Only: true Created-By: 1.6.0-internal (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
All classes and resources in the application or applet must be signed and trusted.
Trusted-Library
Attribute
For applications and applets that are designed to allow unsigned components, the
Trusted-Library
attribute should be used. No warning dialog will be displayed and an application or applet may load jar files containing untrusted classes or resources. This attribute prevents signed components in an application or applet from being re-purposed with unsigned components. You can specify Trusted-Library: true
in the manifest file. For example:Manifest-Version: 1.0 Trusted-Library: true Created-By: 1.6.0-internal (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
All classes and resources in a jar file containing this manifest attribute must be signed and trusted.
