JarSigner Class not found exception

I'm trying sign jar for distribution of my java project via JWS, what i have done is

  1. I have packed my class files into a jar
  2. created password using keytool - keytool -genkey -keystore xxx -alias xxx
  3. sign jar using jarsigner -keystore xxx Test.jar xxx - command

but the error I've got is No class found exception . Sun.security.tools.jarsigner.

I'm using JDk 1.6.0.21. I tried unpacking Tools.jar and could find the jarsigner class.

Solution

  • You're running 'java' from the JRE not the JDK. The JRE doesn't contain the 'jarsigner' tool.
