Java 7u45 gives spurious warning about missing Permissions attribute

892235Oct 17 2013 — edited Dec 23 2013

The security dialog in 7u45 gives a yellow warning about missing Permissions attribute.   Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Same as the yellow box in the screenshots (#2 and #3) documented here (although none of them discuss the Permissions attribute) :

What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?

The MANIFEST.MF file for the app definitely contains this attribute.  There's only one jar for the application, and it's signed.

Might this be another security dialog bug?  Or am I missing something?  The JNLP contains the same "all-permissions" security tag.

I also found the release notes for 7u45 mention a couple of cases where the dialog might still appear

(see last issue: Java™ SE Development Kit 7 Update 45 Release Notes)

I don't use the JNLPDownloadServlet but my own. I didn't model it on the JNLPDownloadServlet, but guess I could have partly the same issue since I use versioning.

My jar doesn't fail to download though, it's just that its displaying this warning.
