Workaround - PJIRC certificate expired

PJIRC is a popular Java-based IRC client which can easily be integrated in existing websites. The only problem of the software is the fact that the certificate used for signing has expired. As a result, users can no longer extend trust to the software and consequently need to verify their intention to run the chat client on each occasion.

Utilizing PJIRC version 2.2.1 available from SourceForge, I used the information available in the PJIRC forum[1] to sign the client for convenience purposes. Rather than using the attached files, I encourage you to obtain PJIRC 2.2.1 from SourceForge and follow the steps described in the forum thread in order to ensure that your client has not been altered. I will say that I reviewed the code and signed it without making any modifications, but please realize it is prudent to generate the signed client files yourself rather than trusting strangers on the Internet.

Please note that the attached files only replace the two files contained in the SourceForge package that need to be signed. In other words, you will always need to download the PJIRC client from SourceForge. You can see the two files in action here.
