signing java code

I have an applet that I signed using a thawte code signing
certificate.
I signed our applet using java sdk 1.5 however when I load the applet
in the browser I still get a security warning but in the
security warning it tells me that the applet is trusted by a trusted CA
and is not expired.

So it is a valid trusted certificate however I still
get a warning prompt. Is there anyway around this? Do I need to use
microsoft's authenticode in order for IE to not prompt the user to
trust the applet?

Hi Dino,

You will always get that security warning dialog (even if the signature
and issuer are recognized and valid) at least the FIRST time you access
the signed Java applet page.
However, if you click the "Always" button at the bottom, you will NOT
be prompted for subsequent accesses to that page and the publisher (signer's)
certificate will be added to a trusted-signer list for JavaPlugin.
