You can set jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize at runtime with the following Java code:

System.setProperty("jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize", "9000000");

WARNING: Depending on the property and JVM version using setProperty may or may not work if the JDK Java class that uses this variable has already been loaded. The value of the jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize system property may be cached within an internal private static variable of the implementing class.

To read the value of jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize at runtime, you can use this Java code:

String propertyValue = System.getProperty("jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize");
if (propertyValue != null) {
    System.out.println("jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize = " + propertyValue);
} else {
    System.out.println("jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize was null");
}
