Abstraction for JarSignMojo so that webstart plugin can allow the user to
choose how their jars are signed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPJAR-54
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPJAR-54
Project: maven-jar-plugin
Type: New Feature
Reporter: David Boden
Attachments: JarSignerMojo.java
The webstart Maven 2 plugin signs jar files as part of its operation. At the
moment, it relies upon JarSignMojo to do this.
While this is going to be correct 90% of the time, sometimes users (like
myself!) need to ask the webstart plugin to sign jars in a different way.
Specifically, my company keeps its private key separate and provides an HTTP
Post interface to allow me to submit jars for signing. I've got a Mojo to do
this.
What I need is for the webstart plugin to use an abstraction defined in an
interface called JarSignerMojo (attached to this issue) rather than
JarSignMojo. That way, I can plug my own Mojo in to be used instead of
JarSignMojo. Jerome Lacoste is doing the webstart plugin development and is
happy to accommodate this change if we can get the interface added to the jar
plugin project.
The only change to the existing code is that JarSignMojo's class declaration
needs to be changed to:
public class JarSignMojo extends AbstractMojo implements JarSignerMojo
