key2debug is a small script used to transform any android keystore to debug one. Which can be imported as custom debug key in Eclipse.

This is very usefull if you want to test your application agains keystore-dependent services during application development. This way developers can be 100% sure that things like Google Maps and similar will work.

The script will not overwrite the exiting keystore, it will create new one, with .debug suffix.
