Size: You can check Unlimited to make the JAR cache unlimited in size; or you can set the Maximum size of the JAR cache.
Compression: You can set the compression of the JAR cache files between None and High. While you will save memory by specifying higher compression, performance will be degraded; best performance will be achieved with no compression.

Certificates Panel

The Certificates panel looks like this:

Four types of certificates may be selected:

Signed applet: These are certificates for signed applets.
Secure site: These are certificates for secure sites.
Signer CA: These are certificates of Certificate Authorities (CAs) for signed applets; they are the ones who issue the certificates to the signers of signed applets.
Secure site CA: These are certificates of Certificate Authorities (CAs) for secure sites; they are the ones who issue the certificates for secure sites. For Signed applet and Secure site certificates, there are four options: Import, Export, Remove, and Detail. The user can import, export, remove and view the details of a certificate. For Signer CA and Secure site CA, there is only one option: Detail. The user can only view the details of a certificate.
