implement Bitcoin Core?s signmessage command

[davidjim]

How do I implement Bitcoin Core?s signmessage command in Java?

In order to get a signature, I used the following code:

ECKey key = ECKey.fromPrivate("morR2S8NfjiphGnGWwXuSXPoW9pRM9Du9h".getBytes());
String signature = key.signMessage(?create 225015613080074076?);

But I got the following exception. I don't know why?

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
   at java.lang.System.arraycopy(Native Method)
   at org.spongycastle.crypto.signers.HMacDSAKCalculator.init(HMacDSAKCalculator.java:58)

follow this instructions: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/42245/eckey-ecdsasignature-creation

here is the explicit method description: https://bitcoinj.github.io/javadoc/0.12/org/bitcoinj/core/ECKey.html#signMessage-java.lang.String-

hope it s clear now.
