Jar::Signer For Linux

Jar::Signer Perl module ease the process of creating a signed Jar file.

# using FindBin is just a suggestion. use FindBin qw( $RealBin ); use Jar::Signer; my $signer = Jar::Signer->new; # location of the keystore, created if needed. $signer->keystore("$RealBin/MyKeyStore"); # dname properties of the certificate. $signer->dname("CN=Mark Southern, O=My Corporation, L=My State, C=USA"); # name for .fingerprint and ..cert files, created if needed. $signer->alias("$RealBin/MyCert"); # the Jar file that we want to sign. $signer->jar(shift); # if signed_jar is undefined then the default is basename.signed.jar where basename is the basename of the Jar file. $signer->signed_jar(shift); # create the signed Jar. $signer->process;

This module, and the script that uses it make it a lot simpler to generate signed Jar files for use in Java applets etc. It steps through all the needed jar, jarsigner and keytool command lines.
