Hi,

I've been having problems with the signjar task occasionally failing with "exec returned: 128" for a long time now. The problem isn't always reproducible and often disappears by simply cleaning the build area and starting again; sometimes this technique doesn't work though.

I checked the jarsigner sources and they simply have exit codes of 0 and 1 to indicate success and failure, so jarsigner is presumably not to blame. From a little googling it looks like this might be a cmd.exe issue as there is a generic Windows error message associated with 128 that seems relevant:

  C:\>net helpmsg 128

  There are no child processes to wait for.

I'm guessing this means that the jarsigner.exe is completing really quickly, although I suppose it could mean that it wasn't launched at all. I'd really like to get this problem solved as it would make our build server that bit more reliable.

Has anyone else seen this sort of thing happening before? any recommended solutions? do I just add an ignoreexitcode128 attribute to the signjar/exectask?

Not seen this, and we do a lot of signing; it may depend on jar size. Now, sometimes java runtimes return funny numbers, so, say HPUX returns 255 instead of -1. But that is an OS issue, which we would have encountered on windows before...
