Hi Josh,
let me stress first that I absolutely love the idea of JWS. I am currently using it for my application TrueMirror. I don't even think the security warning is a big issue. All that you need to overcome this is certificate, full stop.
My issues are more practical ones:
+ I use <offline-allowed/> as my app doesn't need any network. Unfortunately, JWS usually does NOT recognize my updates (not even if do not use this tag). I use DSL to connect to my provider and my shared host is in the same providers network, so I don't have any reason to think that my connectivity is the cause of the issue. Unfortunately, there is no documentation about how JWS actually detects an update, so I have no choice but guessing. So far I could not track down the issue.
+ I would like to put my app on CD or DVD for distribution, too. Using HTML and JNLP this shouldn't be a problem, but it is (at least on Windows) as you cannot address the current directory (on CD-ROM) in the codebase attribute.
+ The icon support for transparency is poor. I tried PNG and GIF. but wasn't able to get something professionally looking for my icon (see web site).
As you can see this is nothing spectacular to fix, but a cause of daily annoyance...
