Holger Brands commented on MOJO-396:
------------------------------------

some more information is available here:

http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kirillcool/archive/2005/05/signing_jars_fo.html

we're using this mechanism a long time without problems.

I agree, it requires some effort to implement this in the plugin.
Perhaps there could be a way to mark a dependency as already signed and 
point to a component extension JNLP in src/jnlp ...
The plugin could then skip signing and instead reference this JNLP from the 
main JNLP.
Just some thoughts ...

> 1- it is not the only way to deal with already solved jars. One can use the

> 2- unsigning may not be allowed on some jars (can someone double check this?)
> My understanding is that there are some cases were component extension didn't 
> work (implementation issues). It may also be that this feature is harder to 
> implement.
> So we may want to also support both features.
