Thanks, this looks quite good. If the usage output "add a provider by 
name" had something like "e.g. SunPKCS11" or other example name then I 
think it would be clearer.

A minor annoyance but the list of providers (and provide classes) is a 
maintained in jarsigner as a Vector, any reason why this can't be a List?
