FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
JDK1.5.0-beta2-b51

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Java Web Start in JDK1.5.0-beta2 is unable to start an application that works perfectly well in Java 1.4.2.

The application in question uses the all-permisions JNLP tag and as such is signed. It seems that something about the signitues on the Jars is causing WebStart to break.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) open a link for a signed JWS application that requiers all-permissions
2) wait for application to download
3) Web Start will say "starting application..."

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Application starts
ACTUAL -
watched it popup warning dialog saying "Failed to validate certificate. This application will not be run."

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
 "Failed to validate certificate. This application will not be run."

Exception was:
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Check leaf key usage failed in certificate
        at com.sun.deploy.security.CertUtils.checkUsageForCodeSigning (Unknown source)
        ...

there's no way to copy the exception from the exception dialog so i've had to type exception fragment in.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Release Regression From : 1.4.2
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
