Widget Converter

Are you a Widget developer? Do different Widget formats have you down? This Widget will end your misery.

Widget Converter will take a Widget which runs in the Yahoo! Widget Engine and convert it into a Widget format of your choosing, be it a folder, a zipped Widget, or the latest flat Widget format. As a bonus, it will clean up your Widget a bit in the conversion process!

Note that this Widget is a developer tool, and it is not written for converting similar accessory applications for other runtime environments to work with the Yahoo! Widget Engine.

Current Version: 2.6

What kind of certificate authorities and the X.509v3 extensions are needed to make YWE recognize the signature? I have put mine but Widget Engine says that while the signature is valid it can not be validated. Maybe YWE works strictly with Verisign?

Please note! Both this widget and the command line utility will NOT flatten something which has files of zero length:

Error: ConvertWidgetBundle: Caught exception!
Error: FlattenBundle failed

Make sure all your files are actually of positive length.

To authors: this is just lame. Why not put something more descriptive? It costed me an hour to figure it out.
