Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for:

Question

I have an application with some external jars I created. With the new java policy I had to sign my application and all jars. I buyed a certificate and signed my jar application and all other jars. Then I got a error "missing permissions attribute in jar manifest". I added Permissions: all-permissions to the manifest of my jar (not the other external jars). And now I have the error Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for:... But I don't know what I have to put as application-name. Is that the name of my jar?

I tried to add to the manifest of all other jars "Permissions: all-permissions" but then my application doesn't work at all.

thanks for the answers

Answer 1

This is what helps me out: How do I fix "missing Codebase, Permissions, and Application-Name manifest attribute" in my JNLP app?

I just had to put THREE extra attributes in the manifest of ALL jars.

Answer 2

I had this problem and I was also getting security warnings similar to this post

It was a quick fix by making sure then when exporting the jar file I had "Export Java source files and resources" ticked. Didn't even need to adjust the manifest file in the end.
