The actual jar signing is usually very reliable exercise in mathematics, which only fails on external resources.
But connecting to the "Time Stamp Authority" is not no so reliable. When network issues can cause intermittent failures in jar signing during our long middle of the night builds it causes, out of size problems for our build process.
I will present a patch which adds a "maxtries" parameter, to allow for repeated attempts. I considered but did not add a "retrydelay", as the overhead of the command process is a non-trivial delay. If whoever applies the patch feels "retrydelay" is desirable, they can add it.
Affects: 1.3.2, 1.4
