Using sign4j on a binary just created with launch4j, I'm getting "unsupported operation" after the signing (apparently) succeeded. Looking at the source code, this error probably might mean the signature was longer than expected. I'd like to try rebuilding sign4j with a larger "max size" parameter, but there seem to be no instructions for or project for building sign4j BTW, I previously use sign4j successfully with my (now expired) certificate, so the new certificate is the main variable in the equation....

I investigated this at length. In the process I came fairly close to being able to rebuild it from sources in a modern environment, but ultimately go hung up trying to read registry variables that were set by a modern java install. I'm sure it could eventually work, but I found a better solution. Launch4J already works (or rather, still works) on a modern java install, but it's flaw is that the resulting .exe can't be signed by any of the standard signing tools. BUT the sources for launch4j include...

java not found

I encountered this too - it seems that with a sufficiently virgin machine, installing java no longer leaves a footprint that jsmooth will find. Adding a JAVA_HOME environment variable will probably do the trick.

It's sad that these eudora clones are going nowhere. I found another solution to the problem of Eudora's obsolete security - https://sourceforge.net/projects/emailrelay/ so I can run eudora unauthenticated, and let the relay keep up with the modern world.
