Hello everyone,

The signing plugin fails in the presence of an unreliable network. Could 
retries be added please? I am thinking of something like up to 3 retries, 
sleeping for one second between.

I have just started to use this plugin and this is a major issue. It makes my 
overnight builds fail more often than not. Prior to me making this change the 
project produced unsigned jars during the java build and later on via a python 
script added the signing. Once the unreliable network issue was identified the 
python script was changed, adding retries (the network issue will most likely 
never be fixed). Retries in the python script fixed the issue. Now I am using 
the maven plugin the issue is back.

Some people might think that if this is happening in a wired corporate network 
then the network issue ought to be identified and resolved. Well, maybe. But 
this issue could easily strike on networks that are inherently less reliable 
such as wifi and mobile. So I really think that the retries should be there to 
cater for that. Do people think this is a reasonable enhancement request?
