installing certificates
Normally you don’t need to install code-signing certificates. They come bundled with the jar files that contain the associated program. They are used to verify the program indeed came from the alleged author and has not been modified by some malicious third party. You can though install certificates to bypass the annoying security OK each time the program is run. The following instructions should suffice to help you install certificates, see which certificates you have installed and remove discontinued/invaled/untrusted certificates.
