VerifyJar Task

VerifyJar

Description

Verifies JAR files with the jarsigner command line tool. It will take a named file in the jar attribute. Nested paths are also supported

Parameters

Attribute Description Required

jar the jar file to verify Yes, unless nested paths have been used.

alias the alias to verify under Yes.

storepass password for keystore integrity. Note that jarsigner does not read the password from stdin during verification, so the password must be send via a command line interface and may be visible to other users of the system. No.

keystore keystore location No

storetype keystore type No

keypass password for private key (if different) No

certificates (true | false) display information about certificates No; default false

verbose (true | false) verbose output when verifying No; default false

strict (true | false) strict checking when verifying.
since Ant 1.9.1. No; default false

maxmemory Specifies the maximum memory the jarsigner VM will use. Specified in the style of standard java memory specs (e.g. 128m = 128 MBytes) No

executable Specify a particular jarsigner executable to use in place of the default binary (found in the same JDK as Apache Ant is running in).
Must support the same command line options as the Sun JDK jarsigner command. since Ant 1.8.0. No

providername name of a cryptographic service provider's name when listed in the security properties file. since Ant 1.9.14. No

providerclass name of a cryptographic service provider's master class file when the service provider is not listed in the security properties file. since Ant 1.9.14. No

providerarg Represents an optional string input argument for the constructor of provider_class_name. Ignored if providerclass is not set. since Ant 1.9.14. No

Parameters as nested elements

Attribute Description Required

path path of JAR files to verify. since Ant 1.7 No

fileset fileset of JAR files to verify. No

sysproperty JVM system properties, with the syntax of Ant environment variables No, and only one can be supplied

arg Use this to specify a keytool command line argument not explicitly supported via an attribute. since Ant 1.9.14. No

Examples

<verifyjar jar="${dist}/lib/ant.jar" alias="apache-group" storepass="secret"/>

verifies the ant.jar with alias "apache-group" accessing the keystore and private key via "secret" password.
