[Building Sakai] Automatically signed applet in Samigo

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Daniel,

It is possible to automatically sign the jar at build time via the maven-jar plugin 'sign' goal. In fact the samigo-audio pom already does this but you need to activate the profile in the pom:

mvn clean install -Pjarsign

You may need to provide the properties for it, like the keystore location,alias and password. Check the POM.

It's been a while since I've used this but IIRC the Sakai Foundation used to sign it/provide the cert. Are the artifacts in the repo not signed?

cheers,
Steve
