Valid JAR signature for JavaFX projects

Question

I\'ve been working through various recipes to produce a runnable JAR file for a JavaFX project using a Maven POM. Each of these Stackoverflow questions des

I had a very similar problem; when I included a signed JAR (bouncycastle) in the project. Its signature was repackaged verbatim, resulting in an obvious SecurityException:

java.lang.SecurityException: Invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes

Filtering of all sorts failed; the solution that works for me looks like this in the pom.xml:

  org.apache.maven.plugins
  maven-dependency-plugin
  2.8
  
    
      unpack-dependencies
      package
      
        unpack-dependencies
      
      
        META-INF/*.SF,META-INF/*.DSA,META-INF/*.RSA
        ...
      
    
  

I omitted some lines after the new one with the "excludes" pattern. This single line was the solution for me - I include the other lines so you can see the placement. (I had trouble with many other postings which omitted the context of a tag, so I try to save others this trouble).

Hope that helps others with the same problem.
