Description

We have a multi module maven setup. The problem is that this plugin requires us to have the keystore either in the same location on all machines or in the source code along each and every pom.xml file.

I would like to have one of the following:

• Save the file on one location in Subversion and use something like
  <keystore>svn://svn.example.com/trunk/keystore</keystore>
  and the plugin would have to take care to check out the keystore into every project as needed.

or

• Put the keystore into a JAR file and save that JAR file on the Nexus server. Then make the jarsigner plugin depend on this JAR file, download it for every project and extract the keystore from there. This would be like what the assembly plugin can do for its descriptors.
