Before you can sign applications in the MTJ, you have to configure the Signing Provider plug-ins. In MTJ, there are by default two different Signing Provider plug-ins, although more can be added. The default plug-ins are:

The signing provider plug-ins are located in your workspace for MTJ (###OPEN ISSUE <4>###). They are configured in MTJ preferences.  To configure the signing providers, you need the jad signing tools installed in your computer.

Note: These signing tools allow you to sign your applications securely so that the mobile devices accept the application without returning a security dialog about untrusted providers.

    The Preferences window opens.(###OPEN ISSUE <27>###)
