Jar::Signer 0.1

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

SYNOPSIS

# 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.
