Hi Erel,

I know this one will probably be shot down, but could a feature be added to B4J so that when building the resultant jar (with "Release") where the Merge attribute has been set to True:

#MergeLibraries: True (which merges all the libraries today)

That a new attribute could be added so that specific jar's could be excluded from the merge? Example as a possible new attribute (which doesn't exist today):

#ExcludeFromMerge: specified jar

example:

#ExcludeFromMerge:bcprov-jdk15on-159.jar

Cases where this would be useful:

For such cases as of the bouncy castle dependency (bcprov-jdk15on-159) which is a signed jar, and when running with #MergeLibraries: True that jar is decompiled and compiled into your jar and therefore losses its signing.
