We have some trouble with our automated maven build process. From time to time the build is broken by the signing process of install4j. Sometimes it works very well sometimes we get the following exception:

That's a problem to stabilize our continuous build. The SocketTimeoutException leads me to the conclusion of a missing connection to the verisign server. But for the updater there was already a connection during signing execution. Now I am not sure if this may be a problem of our build environment or the signing process of install4j itself. What value is set as the default for the connection timeout? Is it possible to override this value?
For the signing we are using a pfx-file and install4j with version 5.1.12.
回答1:
The read timeout is set to 10000 milliseconds by default. You can increase it by adding the line
-Dinstall4j.readTimeout=20000
to the file bin/install4j.vmoptions in your install4j installation.
Just for reference, there is a similar VM parameter install4j.connectTimeout for the connect timeout, also with a default value of 10000 ms.
Update (2014-11-20):
Since install4j 6.0, a failed counter signature is retried 10 times with a pause of 3 seconds. The maximum number of retries can be increased with the VM parameter
-Dinstall4j.counterSignRetry=20
