Software that does much more than display "Hello World!" should be digitally signed - especially applets and Java Web Start applications that are sold or used over the Internet. Code signing is mandatory if your applet or JWS application needs access to local (client side) resources. (Unsigned code is barred from access to client side resources by the Java security manager.)

Your sales will increase dramatically if you sign your Java code with a Java code signing certificate from a trusted authority. Using a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority makes your organization look more professional. It also gives your customers the comfort of knowing that a trusted third party has verified that you are who you say you are. The bottom line is that you can't successfully market your product if you self sign your jars - you need a trusted CA.
