Invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes

Today i run into error
Invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes
while running my java web start applet.
I wondered for a while and finally found the reason – yesterday I modified my .pfx key for signing applet, but manifests in jars merge with each other – so I really had jar with invalid digest.
To fix it, I just had to remove META-INF folder from all my jars, add them manifest again and re-sign them.
You can remove it with any archiver – for example, with 7-zip.
Perfectly correct answer. It worked for me too
[…] Try removing META-INF folder from jar, adding manifest and signing JAR again, it helped me: http://jehy.ru/articles/2013/12/13/invalid-signature-file-digest-for-manifest-main-attributes/ […]
It solves my problem too! Thanks Jehy and Mithat Karaoglu
