thanks man...... i have found my solution by using the keytool from the Java6 bin directory..... and it has worked in a snap.
however, to understand this thing better...... seeing from the link you suggested i have tried the following in my terminal and this is what i found *rakib@rakib-laptop:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java* *There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).* * * * Selection Path Priority Status* *------------------------------------------------------------* * 0 /usr/bin/gij-4.4 1044 auto mode* * 1 /usr/bin/gij-4.4 1044 manual mode * ** 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mode * * * *Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: * *rakib@rakib-laptop:~$ * as you can see */usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java *is already my active Java...... mentioned by the Asterisk star at left. still my terminal keyword *keytool* did not point to the sun-java-keytool....... it pointed to the gij keytool. - rakib -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
