How to deploy Applet with dependencies jar using maven and sign it?

jar-signing, maven-2

Solution

If you would like your classes and the dependencies to appear in one jar file, you should use either the assembly plugin or the one-jar plugin before the jarsigner. I have the following working setup with the assembly plugin, it will produce the normal (signed) jar and a ${artifactId}-${version}-jar-with-dependencies.jar (also signed).

            <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.2-beta-5</version>
            <configuration>
                <descriptorRefs>
                    <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
                </descriptorRefs>
                <archive>
                    <index>true</index>
                    <manifest>
                        <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
                    </manifest>
                </archive>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>make-my-applet-jar</id>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>single</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jarsigner-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>sign</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>sign</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <keystore>keystore</keystore>
                <alias>keyalias</alias>
                <storepass>storepass</storepass>
                <keypass>keypass</keypass>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
