expired certificate error

I Downloaded a new Android app and Eclipse gave: Error generating final archive: Debug Certificate expired on 12/26/10 1:17 PM Act_Home Unknown Android Packaging Problem 1. Am I suppose to replace your Certificate with mine? 2. Why is my app named Act_Home?

Please disregard Certificate problem, sorry. It looks like my certificate is got back-dated somehow. It was supposedly until 2033 :]

For some clarification. When the Android SDK was installed it came with a debug.keystore from SUN. It is only a one year certificate. That is the certificate that Eclipse by default uses during builds. To put any app into the Market I had to create my own .keystore this is the certificate that is good until 2033. When I saw the certificate error and had checked that my keystore was not missing/out-of-date then jumped the conclusions that BuzzTouch brought one with it's package (sorry). After much keytool syntax searching. I Found it is very hard to extend an expired keystore. However, the fix is easy. Exit Eclipse. Delete ~/.android/debug.keystore or c:\users\\.android\debug.keystore Start Eclipse. Project->Clean -> Clean All
