Peter,
That solved it! Thanks for the help.
==============================================
<target name="signjar" depends="jarfiles">
<signjar jar="${JarDest}/${JarFileName}.jar"
alias="cciikey"
storepass="keystore"
keystore="${KeystoreLoc}"
lazy="true" <==== new line here
/>
</target>
==============================================
Stefan, thanks for the info as well.

The latest CVS version should be able to check dependencies if you set
lazy="true". Older versions did it if you had two jars (signedjar and jar)
and would only update if jar is older than signedjar.
