Yes but the whole thing looks weird, on one hand OP wants to include a

don't use signed JAR at all…

It leaves that decision of whether to run with the unsigned jar up to the user. I think this is a reasonable solution if it works in practice, and is similar in concept to what the openssl folks have done for FIPS validation.
