Personally, I think the entire concept of this sort of signing should be
reviewed.  If the editor wants to release signed artifacts then the onus
should be on the editor to trust and sign everything it pushes out with the
EF cert, it shouldn't export requirements to projects it consumes to
themselves have things signed by the EF cert. That whole service that the
EF provides for jar files to show up in some directory and signed
artifacts popping out in another is hokey and combined with the concept of
p2 repositories is a big reason Jetty left the release train.

Jesse
