I've got an internal only app that I've historically self-signed. With the latest version of Java, self-signing for JNLP is deprecated. I have also experienced strange problems with opening sockets from self-signed apps with Java 7U25 (but work fine when run as a normal jar from the command line).
Is there a way to do JNLP without signing at all? Given that it's an internal only app, signing is not necessary (to me). I really don't want to spend money buying a certificate when it's not truly necessary.

How to open a JNLP file. You can open and edit a JNLP file in any text or source code editor, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code or GitHub Atom. Source code editors contain syntax highlighting tools that make reading and editing JNLP files easier.
However, because JNLP is no longer a part of Java SE (from version 11 onward), the organization was faced with a decision: discontinue its use of JNLP as a part of Java SE or eliminate its policy of staying reasonably up to date with Java SE releases.
It seems that the coming Java 7u40 recognises the need for a solution and provides a new feature:
In an enterprise that provides a common execution environment and manages the applications that employees access, the Deployment Rule Set feature enables the enterprise to establish a whitelist and a blacklist of known applications.
