Hi there, I have looked into this area lately too. A jarsigner can well be implemented without JKS and have a Provider plugged in for different keystore formats. This would be done via the java.security.KeyStore.getInstance() method AFAICS. I think this is what Sun's jarsigner also does via the --provider and/or --storetype arguments. So my opinion is that we should have a jarsignder implementation that uses this API and the same options but a different default
