Hi there.

I’m completely lost in trying to use the module-signer.  
How do we have to use what is on github ? Do we have to compile it with Eclipse and it will generate a module-signer.jar file, or is there another way to do so ? I have very low knowledge in java, and i’m a bit lost when i try to figure out how to sign a module.  
Any help ?

The easiest way to compile it is with Maven. Check the project out from GitHub and then run `mvn package`.

You’ll end up with a runnable JAR file in the `target` directory.

From there you can follow the directions in the README for what parameters it expects.

Hi Kevin, is this method still available now? It seems that there were fewer file in the folder.
