Hello all,

I am not able to sign java applets correctly which have been linked with
codewarrior.  If a use JAVAKEY to sign my ".jar" archiv it finishes with
no errors and I get a signed archiv but it does not recognise the public
key file.
The problem seems to be the Metrowerks linker (options "manifest" and
"compress" are checked), because if I tell the compiler to generate
".class" files and compress and manifest them with the JAR tool before
using JAVAKEY everything works fine.
I am using IDE 5.3 (Mac OS9) MRJ 2.2 ...

Thanks,
Markus

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
