Or is this a case of

You don't necessarily need to use an IDE, but Ant would probably make
things easier (there's a built-in task for signing jars:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/signjar.html). How do you do the
build currently?

I'm a big advocate of always having an automated, single-step build
process. It doesn't really matter whether that's achieved with Ant,
Maven, Make or some home-grown scripts. Once you have to execute more
than one command to do a build there's a chance of messing things up.
Yeah, thanks. I think I just needed to hear it.
I wish I could figure how to run Ant from the command line,
I'll need to hit the docs. (I have two "powerful IDE's" installed,
both of which can run Ant scripts, but one is utterly broken -
never starts up, the other broke when settings were overwritten
during a 1.2 install the other night.. long story..)
