BAT-files (yup – you heard right!) to sign an entire update site

Digitally signing an Eclipse update after the fact (i.e. it’s not part of the build) can be tedious and time consuming. To make the process easier I wrote two small BAT-files that does the recursive signing of all plugin and feature JAR-files for you. Just stick the two BAT-files (signall.bat and dosign.bat) in the root Eclipse update site directory (together with site.xml) and invoke signall.bat.

Syntax
signall.bat <keystore path> <keystore password> <certificate alias from keystore>

Example
signall.bat mykeystore changeit signer_key

signall.bat

@echo off
set jdkhome=%JAVA_HOME%
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b /s *.jar') do call dosign.bat %1 %2 %3 %%a
set jdkhome=

dosign.bat

@echo off
echo Signing: %4
%jdkhome%binjarsigner.exe -keystore %1 -storepass %2 %4 %3
