Target milestone -> 3.3 *** Issue 12621 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** I'm checking the existence of storekey file - if there is no file I do not sign. |
Currently when running the 'nbm' target in a module build script, if you do not wish to sign the NBM (e.g. because you do not have the secret key) you must know to pass -Dstorepass=\? to suppress signing which is not obvious. (The MakeNBM task recognizes this password specially as meaning "do not try to sign the NBM".) Suggest that every build script with an 'nbm' target begin this target with a default: <target name="nbm" depends="netbeans"> <property name="storepass" value="?"/> <makenbm ....> </target> Then module developers who simply type "ant -f mymodule/build.xml nbm" will get an unsigned NBM, enough to test installation etc. If you pass the correct keystore location and storage password, it will still be signed. Also suggest nbbuild.netbeans.org web pages be updated to recommend this property definition in the beginning of every 'nbm' target. Also the template apisupport/src/org/netbeans/modules/apisupport/ant/AntScript.xml_ should be updated to match.
