 <h2><a name="signjar">SignJar</a></h2>
 <h3>Description</h3>
-<p>Signs jar or zip files with the javasign command line tool. The
-tool detailed dependency checking: files are only signed if they
-are not signed. The <tt>signjar</tt> attribute can point to the file to
-generate; if this file exists then
-its modification date is used as a cue as to whether to resign any JAR file.
+<p>Signs JAR files with the <tt>jarsigner</tt> command line tool. 
+It will take a named file in the <tt>jar</tt> attribute, and an optional
+<tt>destDir</tt> or <tt>signedJar</tt> attribute. Nested filesets are also
+supported; here only an (optional) <tt>destDir</tt> is allowed. If a destination
+directory or explicit JAR file name is not provided, JARs are signed in place.
+</p>
+<p>
+Dependency rules
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Nonexist destination JARs are created/signed</li>
+<li>Out of date destination JARs are created/signed</li>
+<li>If a destination file and a source file are the same,
+and <tt>lazy</tt> is true, the JAR is only signed if it does not 
+contain any signature.</li> 
+<li>If a destination file and a source file are the same,
+and <tt>lazy</tt> is false, the JAR is signed.</li> 
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+When checking signatures, the actual signatory itself is not verified. This
+means that "lazy" checks do not work if a JAR is signed by multiple authors.
