Jesse Glick reassigned MNBMODULE-50:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Jesse Glick (was: Milos Kleint)
> Signing of already signed jars for Java Webstart application
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNBMODULE-50
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNBMODULE-50
> Project: Maven NetBeans Module Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Pavel Jisl
> Assignee: Jesse Glick
>
> For releasing webstart applications is crucial to have all jars included
> signed with one certificate of the releasing company. If these jars are not
> signed with one unified certificate, Java Webstart system asks for each
> unsigned (or jar with another signature) if user agrees and grants access to
> the system.
> For this case, we need to sign all jars, included in package, with one
> certificate. As we looked into source code of this plugin, one part of
> signing is in org.netbeans.nbbuild.MakeJNLP#signOrCopy(from, to), another in
> CreateWebstartAppMojo (for jnlp-launcher.jar and branding jars). As all these
> uses the ant SignJar task, we submit issue with patch, allowing us to force
> signing of jars (see
> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46891). But we are not
> sure, if this will be accepted, because solving of issues in ant is really
> slow.
> Another solution is usage of Maven Jar Plugin. But this plugin denied to sign
> already signed jar. In this case, we must submit patch, allowing us to force
> signing of already signed jars. But there is problem with the MakeJNLP task.
> Using this solution, we must disable signing of jars in MakeJNLP and sign
> jars programmatically using JarSignMojo from Maven Jar Plugin.
> We can see, that the first solution with modification of SignJar task is more
> complex as it solves problems with signing in both MakeJNLP task and
> CreateWebstartAppMojo, but we can expected long delay before the patch will
> be accepted (or worst - rejected). Another solution is not so conceptual, but
> maybe more clear.
> As last instance, we can also contribute modified JarSignMojo class from
> Maven Jar Plugin , that was used in our corporate modified Maven NBM plugin
> 2.7 for creating webstart application. This must be also used programatically
> as the previous solution directly using Maven Jar Plugin.
