signer information does not match signer information of other classes

[swyatt]

I have searched for this and apologize if this is a dumb or misplaced post. I'm unsure if this is Eclipse specific or a general issue. What I have read tells me to re-sign my jar files, which I have no idea how to accomplish and it doesn't seem correct.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.SecurityException: class "org.eclipse.core.runtime.IExecutableExtension "'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package

I'm pretty sure I need this jar file so do not know how to resolve the issue. Is there a way to ignore signatures? The whole jar file inclusion versus build path thing still has me a bit baffled. :confused:

Thanks,

SW

Google is your friend - If you search for "signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package", you'll find a number of potential solutions for this problem.

I appreciate your reply. My post here was after an hour long Google session. Maybe I don't understand what I saw there. The two solutions I found were to re-sign the jar, and to remove the manifest information. Neither of which I know how to do. The other links I found seem specific to certain instances or use cases.

Is there a generic workaround for this, or does each case have a different solution?

Again, I'm posting in the "New to Java" forum for a reason.

Thanks,

OK - my apologies if I seemed brusque - I didn't know that you'd Googled already, because you didn't say...

Signing probably isn't something you'll want to get involved with at this level (it involves security certification). Since it seems unlikely that your own jar is signed, it may be that there is a conflict between the packages - what package have you put your own classes in?

I do appreciate your replies and apologize for any misses in my post. :o

Let me throw it all out there in case I am missing something. I tried to create a new jar file after deleting the signing portions of the manifest.mf file and that didn't fix it. So I'm back to square one.

First, here's the entire error output:

I'm trying to use the Eclipse forms jars to "simplify" my form creation and so had to fish around for the correct jars to make Eclipse happy with all the class references. I believe I need all the ones I have. Please see attached image for build path.

Everything I have written is in a new package in my src folder.

Thanks,

SW

It's possible that not all the Eclipse jars you're using are compatible - they may be signed differently but have classes in shared packages... Unfortunately, I don't know Eclipse or its accessories.

Everything I have written is in a new package in my src folder.

At the risk of repeating the question - what package have you put your own classes in?
