Re: [orbit-dev] Jar Signing and the Orbit Build

Yes. Well, " ... unless there is a technical reason not to ... ". 

And usually that technical reason would have to do with performance and 
even then those performance problems can often be fixed ... judging from 
the Platform's early experiences. As a counter example, "the bundle has to 
be modified after it is installed" would not be a good technical reason. 

What kind of problems are you having? Is there a bug number? 

A recurring issue, in the past, is that sometimes consumers have had 
trouble because they "accidentally" condition the signed jars from Orbit, 
or even innocently re-signed them, but I assume you've checked and ruled 
out those types of problems?
