We use signtool with the output being a .jar file. This signs and
compresses all in one step. Netscape correctly uncompresses this format as
long as the internal format of the jar file has an executable and an
installation script called install.js.
Our command line looks like this:
signtool -k TestCert -Z testout.jar -d "c:\application
data\mozilla\users50\default\n7rr8y9i.slt" -i install.js
"e:\dev\webhelpinstall\install6"
where:
-k is the name of the certificate
-Z is the name of the output
-i is the name of the install script (must be install.js)
the last parameter is the directory where the files to be signed and
compressed are located.
Groove on,
