Question

Can someone show me how pom file should look like to create a jar file with applet which depends from some other jars is it possible to have one jar as applet, and how to si

Answer 1

This is sample pom for applet with dependency on other (signed) jar. Code of your applet module will be packaged into jar and signed using test key.

  
    parent
    com.example
    0.1
  
  4.0.0
  com.example
  applet
  0.1-SNAPSHOT
  jar
  com.example.applet
  
    ${artifactId}-${version}
    
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-jarsigner-plugin
        
          
            
              sign
            
            package
            
              src/main/keystore/signing-jar.keystore
              applet
              applet
              applet
            
          
        
      
    
  
  
    
      com.example
      other
      0.4
    
  

This is sample shell script to create key store (place and run it where your pom file is located):

#!/bin/sh
KEYSTORE=src/main/keystore/signing-jar.keystore
keytool -genkey -alias applet -keystore $KEYSTORE -storepass applet -keypass applet -dname "CN=developer, OU=group 3, O=com.example, L=Somewhere, ST=Germany, C=DE"
keytool -selfcert -alias applet -keystore $KEYSTORE -storepass applet -keypass applet

After mvn package you will have your signed com.example.applet-0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar. Place it together with your dependency (com.example.other-0.4.jar) in your web-application.
