Does the signing task support parallelization to speed up?

Hello, I came across the signing plugin recently (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/signing_plugin.html). Does it have options to allow multiple jars to be signed in parallel? I have a webstart archive I am building that includes a number of jars and want to speed up the signing part. Thanks.

No, I’m pretty sure the artifacts are signed sequentially. You might want to look at Conditional Signing to reduce the impact of signing to release builds only.

OK, thanks. Also realized that this signing plugin is not for signing jars for webstart.
