Re: Issues with deploying a netbeans rcp app with jnlp

Re build performance: I'm guessing you can build your application
without signing in a couple of seconds. So if you turn off the signing
how long does it then take to build your application?. Signing is slow
from the outset and if I remember correctly there's been some reports
that have suggested that the signing process for NB RCP apps could be
made more effective. But you only need to sign when you release your
application, so maybe not a big deal?
