Java 1.5 fixes key length limitation.

For quite some time now people have been coming across, what a lot of people would consider, a major limitation and flaw in Java where it couldn't handle any PKI keys over 1024bit. Finally Sun seems to have addressed this and the CAcert root cert (which is 4096bit) is able to code sign java apps! Alas by default there is very few CAs that are able to sign java apps without nasty popup messages, so for all of you that would like to sign your apps, now is the time to start hassling sun to include the CAcert root certificate in their next update.
