> The Logging Services project provides a WebStart-deployed Swing application, Chainsaw.  To deploy Chainsaw via WebStart and take advantage of all of its features, the jars that are downloaded must be signed by a code signing certificate which has been signed by a trusted root CA.
> It would seem to me it would make sense to have this code signing certificate and associated keys managed by the ASF and not be a project-specific certificate, so other projects could take advantage of the same resources.  If you feel it makes more sense to get Logging Services its own code signing certificate that is managed by the PMC, I'm fine with that as well - I would just like the issue to be resolved.
> I assume if this resource were an ASF-wide resource, the keys and certificate would be managed by infra.  If so, I'm not sure what workflow infra would like to use - maybe a jira issue with release candidate jars and pgp info, and signed jars could be added back to the same jira?  We don't release often, so just let us know what you would like.
> Our needs are relatively simple, and I understand others may have more complex needs.  PMC members or the RM could manage self-signed certificates and 'get by', but I would rather have an official code signing cert provided by ASF itself.
