Mark B updated DERBY-4183:
--------------------------

    Attachment: testjars.diff

Hi,

so it looks as though the signed jar aspect is mostly a red herring; as I would 
have hoped a signature won't be necessary for *every* checksum; it seems as 
though some of the wrong checksums are deliberate - though the checksum aspect 
perhaps needs documenting as I've mostly simply imported the old [often 
apparently wrong] checksums as manifest file entries; there is one place that a 
signed jar is necessary, so I've added ant script to generate the necessary key 
then sign;

one of the jars is a database, so it really would be unwieldy uncompressed, 
I've made a zip of it to then compile the jar from;

generally of course I would possibly need an svn branch to commit the binary 
changes to - alternatively I could make a tarball of the java/testing/ 
directory; the actual jar changes may safely be omitted, I suppose I'd svn rm 
the jars themselves as there is now the dynamic generation;

basically for jar files that are compiled from source, I'm creating directories 
containing the source files, then recompiling from there;  I've included the 
test-jar creation in the 'normal' ant build, though all the test-jar creation 
could be put into its own directory as an independent jar build;

I'd be happy to hear your comments so far - it needs some additional testing 
though I seem to have managed the main hurdles

Best regards

Mark
