Are Java code signing certificates the same as SSL certificates?

Expect:

I'm looking for a Java code signing certificate so my Java applet doesn't throw such scary security warnings. However, I find that all the places they offer are charging too much (I think) like over $200 a year. While doing research, code signing certificates seem to be almost identical to SSL certificates .

My main question is: is it possible to buy an SSL certificate, but use it to sign Java applets?

John Meagher:

Short answer: no, they are different.

Long answer: It's the same kind of certificate, and uses the same encryption software, but the certificate has a flag to indicate that it's allowed. Code signing and web server are different purposes.
