problem solved.
here is the code for making your own task that asks for user password during
the jarsigning thing
this should get anybody who wants to write interactive tasks on top of the
ant built int tasks. you just overwrite the setAttribute methods
don't forget to add the taskdef into your build.xml file and by all means
contact me with any questions
