Thread: How do I privately sign my applet?

I have a dinky little applet that needs a signature because it needs to access the clipboard but I have no real desire to shell out crazy money for a hopelessly amateur program that I wrote just to teach myself Java to get a real signature.

All I have are the class files currently, and the applet works 99% with the 1% being the clipboard function that doesn't work. I think I need to get these files into a jar and then use jarsigner but I can't even seem to get jar to work, much less what the hell I should be doing with jarsigner. If anyone can post a step by step complete idiot guide to signing an applet it would be much appreciated.

Rather than reproduce the instructions, I'll just include the link. Its worked beautifully for me in the past:
