Don't use CodeWarrior to build your .jar file; use Apple's jar tool 
instead, or use Sun's jar tool on Windows or Unix. CodeWarrior has a 
history of building jar files in a format that's incompatible with 
signed jars. The issue might've been fixed in recent versions of 
CodeWarrior, but I'm pretty sure it still existed in Pro 5.3.

Hope this helps,
Eric
