Description John Arthorne CLA 2006-03-15 18:11:06 EST
There is currently no reliable way to figure out when the JAR signing script has completed.  If the script allowed the caller to specify an output file, it could create that output file after signing.  Then the build process that is calling the script can determine when the signing is complete by checking for existence of the output file.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2006-04-05 10:44:29 EDT
Moving to Callisto component.

To be clear, this refers to the /usr/bin/sign script that adds items to the signing queue.
Comment 2 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2006-04-20 17:02:03 EDT
Done.

$> sign
Usage: /usr/bin/sign <file> <mail|nomail> [outputDir]
Signs JAR or ZIP file <file>, placing the resulting file in optional [outputDir] and mails notification that signing is complete, if requested

outputDir can be relative or absolute to the signed file. If not specified, the current directory is implied.  If outputDir does not exist, it will be created automatically.

Closing as FIXED.  Feel free to reopen if something breaks.
