The 'meSignSuite' Task

The meSignSuite task allows a MIDlet suite to be cryptographically signed according to the MIDP 2.0 specification. The meSignSuite has the following syntax:

   <meSignSuite  jarfile="path to jar file"
                 inputjad="path to input jad file"
                 outputjad="path to output jad file"
                 keystore="path to keystore"
                 storepass="keystore password"
                 alias="alias of key to use"
                 keypass="key password" 
                 [encoding="file encoding" >]
                 [keystoreType="type" ]
                 [keystoreProvider="provider"] />

meMachProp Task Attributes

Attribute	Value
jarfile	Relative or absolute path to the JAR file to be signed.
inputjad	Relative or absolute path to a file to the JAD file containing the description of the JAR file being signed.
outputjad	Relative or absolute path to where the signed JAD will be written. If this is the same as the inputjad attribute, the JAD file will be edited in place.
keystore	Relative or absolute path to the keystore file containing the key used to sign the JAR file.
storepass	Password for the keystore file.
alias	Key alias that identifies the particular key within the keystore.
keypass	Password for the key within the keystore.
encoding	Optional string identifying the character encoding for the input and output JAD file. If not specified, the system assumes "UTF-8".
keystoreType	Optional string identifying the type of the keystore. This parameter is only needed if you are using a non-default cryptographic system, and it will be necessary to arrange for the appropriate support files to be in the classpath.
keystoreProvider	Optional string identifying the cryptographic provider for the keystore. This parameter is only needed if you are using a non-default cryptographic system, and it will be necessary to arrange for the appropriate support files to be in the classpath.

For those familiar with Sun's JadTool tool, the attributes for the meSignSuite match the command line parameters of the JadTool tool.
