Using the Jar Signer Tool

This topic explains how to sign the third party modules using the Jar Signing Tool.
 
CAUTION: A security best practice is to encourage the original authors of a module to sign their own code. Signing a module on behalf of a 3rd party should be done only as a last option, and only if you trust the authors.
