automated signer

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good spring break. I finally got around to posting the signing program I wrote... it's a windows .bat file and a JAR that does some output file formatting.

If someone wants to mod the script for *nix/whatever, knock yourself out! I only work on windows machines and I really on wrote this to save myself 5 minutes each time I wanted to sign a JAR.

Instructions are zipped up with the file, which can be found at http://web.mit.edu/camick/Public/780signer.zip.

Bear in mind that this program is elegant in no way at all... pretty much everything is hardcoded into either the JAR or the bat. Should save some minutes, though...!

Mobile Application Design from SXSW

Here are some notes that Dan Saffer took at a recent (Monday) panel on mobile application/interaction design at the UX side of the SXSW conference in Texas. Definitely some things to think about for this course and especially the next two classes.

Signing Midlets

Our group got together yesterday to work on Tuesday's assignment, only to find that getting the certificate signing is a long and tedious process. We followed the instructions and altered the .jad for a HelloWorld program that already worked, but with both certificates, the phone rejected the application when we tried to upload it from midway (Failed. Invalid File.). Do you have any ideas about what could be going wrong?

Thanks,
Mark
