Yes, your researchers need to import your signer certificate
into their keystore. If you want them to use your policy
without any modifications, they need to import your signer
certificate under the same alias that is referenced in your
policy.

Note that in order to resign a jar file, you need not recompile it.
You can simply resign it with the "jarsigner" command in the same
fashion as if it were signed for the 1st time.
