Java: InvocationTargetException caused by MissingResourceException, but its there

Question

When I run a method on my application, I get the following exception, but the class that is miss 'JarSignerResources' is in my classpath (part of tools.jar). I have never seen an exception like this before, and it only occurs on Linux (not OSX). Can anyone give me a bit of insight into why this would be happening? Thanks.

This happens at this point in the code:

public static void signJar(String keystore, String keystorePassword, String jarFile, String alias) throws Exception{
    JarSigner js = new JarSigner();
    js.signJar(keystore, keystorePassword, jarFile, alias);
}

The sun.* packages are not part of the supported, public interface. It is likely you are not using a sun jdk on linux.

A Java program that directly calls into sun.* packages is not guaranteed to work on all Java-compatible platforms. In fact, such a program is not guaranteed to work even in future versions on the same platform.

Whats the output of java -version? – Paul Whelan Oct 07 '11 at 14:12
ah, that make sense. so, i guess my next question would be, how do you programmatically sign a jar file? it doesnt seem like its possible without using some sun.* packages... i guess ill have to open a new thread on that. thanks. – wuntee Oct 07 '11 at 14:21
