Re-signing JAR Files for IBM Daeja Professional Viewer

Sanitizing old certificate

1. Go to the V1files directory.

2. Find all JAR files.




3. Open each JAR with a zip explorer.

 

4. Go to META-INF (see above). 

5. Delete any file with these extensions: *.SF, *.RSA or *.DSA

 

6. When editing manifest.mf, retain the following text:



Delete everything else in this file, and save.

 

Signing with a new code signing certificate

Use the process documented here:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/signing.html

NOTE: You must timestamp the JARs using a recognized time stamping authority.

i.e. -tsa http://timestamp.digicert.com

 

Validate your signed JAR

Here is a note from IBM on how to check the signing certificate date:
