I use site.xml, Site Map, Build All to create an update site. Is there a
way to sign the plugin/feature jars built in this way? I'm looking for the
equivalent of the signing option in Export, for example.

Thanks,
MSacarny

If you are running this in 3.5, you can sign them after the build using
an ant script like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="project" default="default">
<target name="default">
<p2.process.artifacts repositoryPath="file:/path/to/project">
<sign keystore="keystore"
keypass="keypass"
storepass="storepass"
alias="alias"
unsign="true" />
</p2.process.artifacts>
</target>
</project>

You can run that as ant using the External Tools launch configs. Run it
in the same JRE as the workspace.
repositoryPath is a url to the update site project (when I tried this, I
used repositoryPath="file:${project}" and in the launch config set the
property project=${resource_loc:/site} ).
unsign="true" will strip any existing signatures first.
This task will also update the MD5 sums in the artifacts.xml since they
will change after signing.
