Hi,

Effective immediately, we are deprecating the usage the command line signing 
service (aka /usr/bin/sign).

Most certainly, this will only affect you if you use Buckminster as a build 
system (because Buckminster can only sign jars via /usr/bin/sign service). If 
you use Tycho, you're not concerned.

There are two strategies for Buckminster users:

1- Migrate to a modern / maintained build plugin system (see  Buckminster's 
activity - https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.buckminster). See Tycho 
documentation (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Pack200#Pack200_and_Signing 
<https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Pack200#Pack200_and_Signing>) and CBI Jarsigner 
Maven plugin 
(https://www.eclipse.org/cbi/maven-plugins/documentation/latest/eclipse-jarsigner-plugin/sign-mojo.html
 
<https://www.eclipse.org/cbi/maven-plugins/documentation/latest/eclipse-jarsigner-plugin/sign-mojo.html>)
 for how to add jar signing to a Tycho build.

2- Deactivate signing in Buckminster and do the repacking and the signing phase 
as a post build step. You will need to do some shell scripting (in your CI 
instance) to browse all the jars, pack200/unpack200 them (aka repack) and then 
sign them. To sign a jar, you can use the webservice that the CBI maven plugin 
uses in the background (see the Jar signing web service documentation for 
details - 
https://wiki.eclipse.org/IT_Infrastructure_Doc#Web_service_.28Instant.29 
<https://wiki.eclipse.org/IT_Infrastructure_Doc#Web_service_.28Instant.29>).

If option 2 is chosen and highly motivated, we can provide some assistance with 
the shell script (fill a bug under CBI/Signing-Service 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=CBI&component=signing-service
 
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=CBI&component=signing-service>).

I've updated our documentation 
(https://wiki.eclipse.org/IT_Infrastructure_Doc#Deprecated_-_ZIP_and_JAR_files_from_the_command_line_.28queued_or_not.29
 
<https://wiki.eclipse.org/IT_Infrastructure_Doc#Deprecated_-_ZIP_and_JAR_files_from_the_command_line_.28queued_or_not.29>)
 to mention the deprecation. A bug has been created to keep track of the 
termination (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=521263 
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=521263>).

Cheers,
Mikael
