I haven't had a chance to give it some tests on Java 8 yet.
In the meantime, I would recommend signing your jars with Java 7.

On OSX yosemite we don´t want to run java 7 because it is not supported by apple or oracle. Do you know when this tool will be java 8 ready?

If you're in a hurry, you can always sponsor that change.

Actually I don't see any notices on the Java website that Java 7 is not supported on Yosemite. When Yosemite was beta it was indeed not supported. Now Java 7 installs and runs fine on my Yosemite install.
As for being in a hurry, as already suggested you could add an incentive (donate money) or supply a patch yourself. It's Open Source after all.

Changing to java 8 takes more than simply adding some classes from the jdk (like it was done for java 7) because class sun.security.tools.JarSigner does not exist anymore in java 8. It is now called sun.security.tools.jarsigner.Main

Hello Patrick, I created a patch for this. Because the class sun.security.tools.JarSigner no longer exists in java 8 the correct class sun.security.tools.jarsigner.Main has to be used. A JarSignerChooser class was created for this. Can I just check this in (never supplied code to an open source project before)?
