Help with testsign.jar

[Zor_Primo]

For what ever reason, I am unable to sign .apk's and .zip's with testsign.jar. I used the following guides:

Amon-Ra

[SCRIPT/HOW-TO] Sign files with a right-click (Ubuntu) - xda-developers (my original setup worked fine OTB)

and this guide:

toxigenicpoem

Auto Sign Linux : Use Nautilus/Konqurer to sign zips - Simply Android

is it possible that the testsign.jar I downloaded are whacked or am I using the wrong version of Java?

this what shows when I run the following:

bobby@Riggs-9300:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
[sudo] password for bobby:
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/gij-4.4 1044 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:


It used to duplicate the file that I was signing except "signed-" at the front this is the script that I used based off of Amon-Ra's [How-To]:

#!/bin/sh
# Update the Loc var to where YOU stored the testsign.jar file !

Loc=~/AndroidSDK/tools/sign

for arg
do

java -classpath "$Loc"testsign.jar testsign "$arg" signed-"$arg"
gdialog --title "signapk" --msgbox "signed-"$arg" created" 200 200

done

Now it just pops the alert saying signed-*.* created with the newfile nowhere to be found. and the original not signed.

I created the file in the ~/.gnome/nautilus-scripts folder then chmod u+x to make them executable. Any help to resolve this matter will

You need Oracle Java 6 to run testsign.zip, Open Java 6 will not work.

To get Oracle Java 6, follow OpenCliq's tutorial: here

THanks for you reply. Yes, it was the version of Java. I had like 3 versions on my other box before it crashed. Sun-Java5, Sun-Java6 and Open-Java6. Yes, it seems that Open-Java isn't the right one.

Please close the thread.
