Signing jar created with onejar-maven-plugin throwing stackoverflow exception

Question

I have a jar which is created using onejar-maven-plugin, which is meant to listen to jms messages from tibco and process accordingly. It works fine but when I sign this jar using jarsigner and try to run it, it throws the exception below:

org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: java.lang.StackOverflowError (Caused by java.lang.StackOverflowError)

Also if I use maven-jarsigner-plugin to sign it, the result is exactly same. I'm clueless and stuck up with this issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried to increase the -Xss JVM option? To 4096k at first, then lower it until it fails again. Working with ciphers generally maybe need more than default stack size. For the maven jarsigner plugin you can edit .mavenrc file in your linux home directory and add these lines:

#!/bin/bash
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-i586 #(or another)
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/lib/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.4
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xss4096k -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx384m"

I don't know how to do this under windows, but there must be similar solution (here?)
