Netbeans/ant not signing Jars

[Mark McKay]

I'm finding I'm unable to use the ant tool with Netbeans in Windows
2000 to sign the JAR files I generate. I'm using the following ant
tag, and the .keystore file is in my home directory:


<signjar jar="WebStartAp p.jar" alias="kitfox"
storepass="xxxx xxxx"/>


However, when I try to jar and sign this via Netbeans, I get:


Signing Jar : C:\dev\java_dev \webstart_test\ WebStartApp.jar
ant_make.xml [51] Execute failed: java.io.IOExcep tion: CreateProcess:
jarsigner -storepass xxxxxxxx
C:\dev\java_dev \webstart_test\ WebStartApp.jar kitfox error=2
BUILD FAILED
Total time: 0 seconds


However, if I try executing the shell code ant seems to generate, my
jar is signed with no errors:


jarsigner -storepass xxxxxxxx
C:\dev\java_dev \webstart_test\ WebStartApp.jar kitfox


Also, when I execute ant 1.5.3 from the command line, it also
succeeds.

Any ideas what's going wrong? Netbeans uses ant 1.5.1 and won't let
me change it to another version.
