KOH FEE FEE,

Netscape jar file format is yet not completely in sync with our proposed format.
The error you are getting indicates that the netscape browser can not verify
your jar file, which is generated by jar tool that had come with JDK. The hash
calculation differs and Netscape uses RSA signature instead of DSA signatures
for signed jar files.

We are working with Netscape to solve the incompatibilities issues.

Thanks,

Gigi Ankeny
