[jira] Commented: (MJAR-24) don't sign already signed jars (also allow for in-place jar signing)

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-24?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=169144#action_169144 ] 

Andrew Hart commented on MJAR-24:
---------------------------------

I know this is an old issue, but why is it this way?  For example, suppose I have an already signed jar and I want to add another signer to the jar.  This is currently causing me a little bit of grief.

To elaborate:  my understanding is that if I have a secure applet, all of the jars need to be signed by the same signer.  This applet uses several jar files, including one from the Nasa WorldWind project which is signed by Nasa.  My applet is signed by me, but I also want to sign the nasa jar so that all of the jars used by the applet are signed by the same signer.  A jar file may have multiple signers.  

In looking at the docs for this plugin, I don't see any way to force the plugin to sign (add another signer) to an already signed jar.

Thanks.
