Netbeans will generate a signer certificate which life for six months (based on output warning it prompt: The signer certificate will expire within six months), anyway, there are ways to extend it either by signing your jar file using java keytools (tutorial available here), or change the configuration in jnlp.impl.xml file which generate automatically by Netbeans IDE when you build your project by “Enable Web Start” checked.

Here you go:

1. Look for the genkey node.

2. Add validity value into genkey node, for eg: genkey validity=”365″ means 365 days.

3. Clean and rebuild your project in Netbeans.

If you are personally holding many IM / Social network account and frustrate signing in one by one everyday, here are 2 tools recommended to you as below:

1. Nimbuzz
2. Digsby

I personally choose Nimbuzz because it support Skype account and most importantly it compatible with my mobile phone, so that, I’m able to treat my phone as Skype phone too 🙂

The bad things for these 2 IM tools are:
1. They mostly text and minor emoticon.
2. They have no Winks like what’s in Live Messenger, shower smiley face in AIM.
3. …

When it comes to losing your cell phone in the sea, you expect it to be buried there. You certain don’t expect it to turn up a week later inside a fish. And you most definitely don’t expect it to still be working.

Just beware when you compile your application using your own customize build file in netbeans(Ant task).
Ant task compile your source using jdk which sit as default jdk in your netbeans platform manager, not the jdk set in your project properties.

To force ant task compile source using your preferred compiler, there are 2 way I found as below :

1. Change your netbeans default jdk (if there is more than 1 jdk present in your netbeans platform manager)
   Change the value of netbeans_jdkhome to your intention jdk home in netbeans.conf which locate in <NETBEANS_HOME>etc folder.
   eg : netbeans_jdkhome=”C:Javabeajdk150_12″

2. Set the executable and fork attribute in your Ant task (your customize build file).
   eg :

   <javac srcdir=""
    destdir=""
    executable="path-to-java14-home/bin/javac"
     fork="true"
    taskname="javac1.4" />
