Subject: signing JAR files with Netscape signtool


> I have a VeriSign Digital ID Class 3 cert for that I use for signing

> with the old Netscape security scheme or the newer Java 2 method.

> Ant's <signjar> tag apparently uses Java's jarsigner which requires (by my
> reading) an X.509 certificate.  When I try to direct <signjar> to my
> .netscape directory or the certificate I export from it, ant tells me that
> jarsigner is "unable to instantiate the keystore class".  Is VeriSign's
