jarsigner: This jar contains entries whose certificate chain is not validated
I'm trying to code sign a JAR file and am using JDK 1.7u1. We acquired a GoDaddy Code Signing certificate and I followed the instructions (Approach 1) here: http://help.godaddy.com/article/4780
The JAR signs fine, however whenever I try to run the command:
jarsigner -verify on my signed JAR using JDK 1.7u1 I get the following output:

Warning:
This jar contains entries whose certificate chain is not validated.
I also tried the jarsigner -verify command using the same JAR as above on JDK 1.6u26 and 1.6u14 and it came back as being fine. (Output below from 1.6u26).

Am I missing an extra step I need to take to get the JAR signed properly for JDK 1.7?
Answer
I have been having the same issue and if it can help others the problem is in how jarsigner finds the keystore.
In order to fix the issue do:
jarsigner -verify -keystore xxxx.jks mysignedjar.jar
