Any way to verify if the distribution was signed properly?

Question

Before I submit the distribution .. is there any way to verify that it was signed properly?
I followed the instructions pretty carefully, but I'd like to make sure it was done correct before submitting.
Cheers,
Blaze.

How my frustration is concerning this lack of mechanisms over the Virtual Machine to help us declare a MUTEX (I think this is essential to write applications running as services and with the need to have only one instance that runs at once and at a time). The MUTEX is integrated and usable on windows and unix platform and POSIX normalization have described the concept of MUTEX and how implement it. I'm very surprised to haven't yet discovered, as far as my eyes can see, in the Java reference books I read that Java have indeed semaphores for the threading purposes but nothing related to "critical sections", and "mutexes". I saw there is mechanisms to make the things easier when manipulating threads (synchronize statement) but nothing that is clearly matching the MUTEX concept. That's a pity.
Right now, I'm trying to find a way to let the application supposed to be ran once at a time to verify there is no other instance running.
The best idea I found is to create an external "variable" such as an empty file at a particular location that indicates there is an application that "holds" this file and so... if another instance is launched this one will be shutdown immediatly once the file access is denied...
