             Summary: "maxtries" option for maven-jarsigner-plugin
                 Key: MJARSIGNER-41
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJARSIGNER-41
             Project: Maven Jar Signer Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.3.2, 1.4
            Reporter: Gene Smith
            Priority: Minor


The actual jar signing is usually very reliable exercise in mathematics, which 
only fails on external resources.

But connecting to the "Time Stamp Authority" is not no so reliable.  When 
network issues can cause intermittent failures in jar signing during our long 
middle of the night builds it causes, out of size problems for our build 
process.
 
I will present a patch which adds a "maxtries" parameter, to allow for repeated 
attempts.  I considered but did not add a "retrydelay", as the overhead of the 
command process is a non-trivial delay.  If whoever applies the patch feels 
"retrydelay" is desirable, they can add it.
