A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Since version 8.1.91 is reported in the download, the part of the libraries are not signed. This happens when log4j. I tried the current 1.2.17 and the older version in 2006. With both an error message Security Excepiton. With version 8.1.77, the whole works yet.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u91

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use log4j in webstart Application
