I have a question. When I sign my JAR file, which I will open as an applet, I use Command Prompt and command:

jarsigner -keystore <path to key store> <path to jar file> <alias>

But is it possible to do this by using only Java? I would start my JAR with some Jarsigner.class file by Command Prompt, then it would be automatically signed and then I could open this JAR in my browser as an applet. The keystore would be placed as a resource in JAR.

If you are just looking for a shortcut to signing jars you could probably create a batch file that does it for you. – Chris K Mar 06 '13 at 17:14
@ck1221 No, the singing must be done from jar itself, because I don't have access to creating some bat files. – vrbadev Mar 06 '13 at 20:25
Why? Your IDE will do it, ANT will do it, Maven will do it? You won't be deploying new applets at runtime surely? – user207421 Mar 06 '13 at 21:56
I just wanna know if it would be possible. – vrbadev Mar 07 '13 at 11:33
