Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

So it seems that another issue with Java 7 update 25 and Web Start applications is that a signed application will not launch when offline.

It fails when attempting to check the revocation status of the signing certificate.

Anyone have any ideas to get around this exception aside from uninstalling update 25?

Thanks!
