I Resign! Resigning Jar Files with Initium.

Abstract

Every year the number of Jar files that we have to deploy grows. Some of the Jar files are primary containers of applications (with a main method). Other Jar files are containers of commonly used libraries. Still other Jar files are containers of native methods. Regenerating the Jar files, with a new certificate, is what we term resigning the Jars .
