ub-ant-signjar-task

The default signjar task is lacking functionality related to the usage of external cryptograhy providers. The ub-ant-signjar-task extends this functionality to enable integration of this task with EKM.

Prerequisites

• EKM client is installed

• Ant (Version >= 1.93) is installed. To install on RH/Centos, use yum install ant. Refer to https://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi for further details.

• The lib:org.apache.ivy.ant task is installed. To install on RH/Centos, use yum install ivy. Refer to http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.2.0/ant.html for further details.

Build

To build the project run ant on the root directory of the project.

Installation

Copy the generated .../dist/ub-sign-jar.jar file to your ant/lib directory. Or use full path reference in your project build.xml, as follows:

<taskdef name="UbSignJar" classname="com.unboundtech.UbSignJar">
  <classpath>
    <pathelement location=".../dist/ub-sign-jar.jar"/>
  </classpath>
</taskdef>

Usage

Include the task in your project build.xml to sign jar files with EKM keys, as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="UbSignJar" basedir="." default="ubsign">
   <target name="ubsign">
      <taskdef name="UbSignJar" classname="com.unboundtech.UbSignJar" />
      <UbSignJar jar="test.jar" signedjar="test.jar" partition="part1" alias="key-alias" storepass="" installationDir="C:\Program Files\DyadicSec" />
   </target>
</project>
