Whoever is interested in solving this problem, please create a p2 or
oomph bug for that.

I think missing signature on Windows is not OK, independently if this
helps or not with the Windows Defender performance. Note: the exe file
from plain SDK *is* signed.

Rolf,

Indeed if I look at the two executables in the following:

https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12/R-4.12-201906051800/binary/org.eclipse.platform.sdk.executable.win32.win32.x86_64_4.12.0.I20190605-1800

They do not show signature properties when extracted, so p2 installing
these (p2 director via the installer or via p2 update) would not produce
something with a signature in would appear.

I would have expected this file to contain two signed executables, but
that appears, as you suggest, not to be the case. :-(

I asked Dani just now, and he also expected these would be signed...

First of all, the properties of the executable show it very clearly.

Second, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509799#c4 this

eclipse.exe properties from Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Package

Eclipse properties for product installed via oomph.

Rolf,

I don't believe what you suggest is the case.  The eclipse.exe in the
p2 repository, like all the artifacts in the repository, is
signed.    Otherwise, if one did an update and the executable needed
to be updated, it would be updated with an unsigned version, which
would not be acceptable.  What makes you think/assume that these are
not signed?

Hi,

I came across the bug below. What triggered me from the comments on
Bug 509799 is, that the 'eclipse.exe' is apparently signed as part
of the EPP build. As we are pushing Eclipse-Installer now, many
installations contain a 'eclipse.exe' that is not signed.

So maybe the problem is not how to let Microsoft trust the Eclipse
Signature, but more how to *ensure that the 'eclipse.exe' is signed
on all installations*.
