Hello to all of you,

In a workspace setup with bndtools 6.4, I like to directly sign the bundles generated.  
Therefore I followed the doc inside [-sign](https://bnd.bndtools.org/instructions/sign.html)  
and entered into my bundles `bnd.bnd` the following section.

```auto
-sign: ${alias}; \
	password:=${keypass};\
	keystore:=${workspace}/keystore.jks;\
	sign-password:=${keystorepass}

```

Bundle is successfully generated without signing.  
Did not get any error or log output hinting what is going wrong. Even with Build Debug Logging on Full.

Any hints are appreciated.

Did you configure a SignerPlugin in the workspace?

See [osgi/build.bnd at fc60c8dd5eec809c91c054b5c22a79d873e173bc · osgi/osgi · GitHub](https://github.com/osgi/osgi/blob/fc60c8dd5eec809c91c054b5c22a79d873e173bc/cnf/build.bnd#L30-L34) for example.
