[pde-dev] Problems exporting signed Plugins

["Miguel García Longarón" <miguel.mgl@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Hi all:

  I having problems to export signed plugins (a standard OSGi bundle, but I think that doesn't matter) with Eclipse 3.3.  There is a bug already reported, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196755

  I think that PDE asumes that the "keystore" password and the "alias" password are the same, and it isn't necessary true. When I use a keystore in which I create an alias with the same password than the keystore ones, PDE works.

  Proposed solution: the form of the JAR Signing tab must have two entries, "Keystore password" and "Alias password" instead of the current single "Password". Of course, to call jarsigner correctly:
jarsigner -keystore D:\tmp\mglKeystore -storepass key2005 -keypas
s mjo2005 TestBundleR4_1.0.0.jar mgl
