A JME3 plugin library that adds an Ant task for encrypting and indexing assets for use with the Iceloader plugin.

This plugin uses an libraries. The actual number needed at runtime will depend on the usage.

• Commons IO. http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/. Required, I may remove this dependency at some point. Apache 2.0 license.
• Ant.

Indexes are used for two things.

1. To speed up freshness checks when loading assets from a remote server for example using EncryptedServerLocator or ServerLocator. The index also contains the last modified time so only has to be downloaded once up-front, saving one request per asset.

2. You may have a need to know what assets you have at runtime. I use this for some in game design tools (for creatures and world building). New assets may be uploaded by users at any time, so the index is useful to me.

The same tool that is used for indexing is also used to encrypt the assets for upload to the server that will be supplying them (or used to encrypt classpath resources if the assets you supply with your game are to be encrypted).

So, to create indexes and encrypt the assets, you use the provided Ant plugin. Add something like the following to your build-impl.xml

    <target name="compile-assets" depends="init">
        <taskdef name="astproc"
            classname="icemoon.iceloader.ant.AssetProcessor"
            classpath="${javac.classpath}"/>
        <astproc encrypt="true" index="true" srcdir="assets" destdir="enc_assets" simplePassword="password123?" simpleSalt="12345678"/>
    </target>

This will create the directory enc_assets, you can then upload this entire direwctory to any HTTP server and use EncryptedServerLocator in your locator list (see below for how to configure the location of the server).

The task supports the following attributes.
