I'd prefer to see the CheckJarSigError.sh as a Java program.

There original bug report contains a full self-contained test case in Java. Why was that split into several files?

I'm also a bit uneasy about the "just show the file name". I have thousands of JARs with the same name on my harddisk (several Maven repos, target folders, you name it). If you strip the path from the error message, then I have to somehow figure out the classpath which was used.

That might work when I run Java from the command line but when I use complex frameworks like OSGi or Maven which do all kinds of magic to determine which JARs they might want to load, then this doesn't help much.

At least add a command line option / system property which allows to see the full path.
