Yes but the whole thing looks weird, on one hand OP wants to include a
signed jar in the package, on the other hand he says "signature could be
omitted if quick update is needed"… What's the point having signed JAR
if unsigned JAR is legitimate too? Either you ban unsigned JARs or you
don't use signed JAR at all…
