It seems that Webstart-ed JOGL applications that have been running reliably for years now fail when resources referenced in the JNLP file are given by:

    <extension name="jogl" href="http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp" />

Try for example http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/jcanyon/jcanyon.jnlp.   (I can provide many more examples that also once worked and now don't.)

The error that we get on start-up is "com.sun.deploy.net.JARSigningException: Found unsigned entry in resource: http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-1.x-webstart-current/jogl.jar"

When I check the directory tree at http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current, I notice that the jar files there were update on September 17, 2011 -- precisely the date that this error started to appear.   Perhaps someone uploaded unsigned jars to this site.   Any guidance or advice would be appreciated since we rely heavily on JOGL webstart working.

Thanks,
