Using different JDKs for Building my Application with ANT [message #509828]

Hi,

I have some problems with the headless build of my application. At the moment I am building my application with some ant scripts and everything works well.

I would like to launch my application in German. Because of this I downloaded some babel language plug-ins and added some properties.

When I run the ant-scripts with the German babel plug-ins there are some problems and the application is in English and not in German.

I analyzed the problem and recognized that the jarsigner causes these problems.

In my build.properties I have the following code:

Quote:

signJars=true
sign.alias=abc
sign.keystore=${buildDirectory}/builder/.keystore
sign.storepass=ABCABC

The Jarsigner signs my own plug-ins and features correctly but overrides the Information in the Manifest.mf file of the language plug-ins.

I found out, that this bug is fixed with JDK 1.6.x.
Unfortunately I have to use JDK 1.5.x to build my application.

Is there any possibility to build my application with JDK 1.5. but sign the jars with JDK 1.6 ?

You could sign the jars "by hand" when you use a customAssembly.xml
(this is from the thread "Headless signing just our JARs" by Ben Vitale
on this group):

<target name="post.gather.bin.parts">
<signjar alias="arenae.developer.key"
keystore="my.development.keystore"
storepass="pass" keypass="pass"
preservelastmodified="true" lazy="true" >
<path>
<fileset dir="${buildDirectory}/buildRepo/plugins">
<include name="**/ch.arenae.*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${buildDirectory}/buildRepo/features"
includes="**/ch.arenae.*.jar" />
</path>
</signjar>
</target>

In this way you can control which jars are signed. Usually you don't
want to re-sign signed jars from eclipse.org.

Peter
