           Summary: <signjar> should permit selection of alternate
                    executable
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jglick@netbeans.org


Most tasks wrapping JDK command-line tools default to using the tool found in
the same JDK as Ant is running in, but permit this to be overridden e.g. with an
explicit 'executable' attr. This is missing for <signjar>.

Discovered since it appears the JDK 1.5.0_06 signjar is broken on Windows Vista:

oh, that is a scary bug. The underlying problem is

"windows vista hates running unsigned executables and brings up prompts instead". 

We are only seeing the beginning of the problem here. I don't see why we
shouldnt let you define a new executable, but this is tweaking a symptom of a
bigger problem

There is a new 1.5 release out, 1.5.10, which may be vista aware. I will try and
check this on my vista vm.
