Jarsigner : sign standalone jar with Developer ID certificate

While I can use Developer ID certificates from Apple to sign .app and .dmg, I'm wondering if there is way to use it to sign the standalone jar version (click & run), and also a couple of eclipse plugins (jars).

I sign the jars with Comodo Cert and it works fine in windows, but when running the standalone jar in MacOS , GateKeeper blocks it.

All Apple Develper certificates (Developer ID Application, mac Developer, Developer Id Installer ...) don't seem to support jarsigner , is there a way to sign jars for MacOS ?

Solution

  • As far as I know, you can't sign a jar with an Apple certificate. However, you can convert your jar to a MacOS application (e.g. with jar2app) and then sign the application.
