We're developing an Eclipse plugin named SpotBugs Eclipse Plugin.
Currently we do not sign our jar file, so user always got alert from Eclipse. Here is the related GitHub issue:

https://github.com/spotbugs/spotbugs/issues/779

In my understanding based on https://wiki.eclipse.org/JAR_Signing , we need to purchase domain and certification to sign jar.
But we have no sponsor, I want to know how we can sign our jar file with less cost. So let me ask following questions:

Can we use GPG or other solutions to sign?
Is there any way to sign jar without original domain?
Can we use certificate issued by Let's Encrypt?

Thanks in advance!
