The complete command should be:

$ java -jar SignatureTool.jar -c -a -p PASSWORD C:\dev\application.cod

The new 4.3 SignatureTool allows you to pass a password on the command line. For example:

$ java -jar SignatureTool.jar -c -a -p C:\dev\application.cod

Hope that helps.

If anyone is interested, I posted info on how to get the BlackBerry signing tool to work, including how to get it run on Mac and Linux (I work on a Mac :)).

You can find it on my blog:

Hope its useful. I had a hard time finding any information on running BlackBerry stuff on anything other than Windows.

Because on the simulator security it turned off by default, meaning unsigned applications can use all APIs with no trouble. But on a real device those APIs are protected. You can actually run the simulator with security enabled, by the way, but you have to explicitly turn it on.
