I've just signed my applet with a certificate from Thawte and now when I load it from my web page I get a information popup that says "Do you want to run this application?" It's a "good" message box according to the java help because it identifies who signed the code and trusts it however I see no way of getting rid it of it cause it's annoying.
I tried to add my site to the exception list but no luck, on the previous java versions there used to be a checkbox that said "Always trust content from this publisher", well, I can't seem to get that checkbox to show up on Java 8, I suppose it doesn't exist anymore.
I would really appreciate any help here. Thanks

Even running applets from Oracle, such as JavaFX Samples, you'll see a prompt like this:
Update: According to this link, a security prompt doesn't show the option Do not show this again for apps from the publisher and location above if you are hosting the application on multiple locations:
