Keystore Eclipse ADT file location

I have developed and released an app on the Android Market. I compiled the release, signed and zipaligned with Eclipse ADT export. This process created a Keystore for me in the wizard. The steps i took are detailed in the Android dev guide.

I want to know, Where does the newly created keystore reside? I want to take it and reuse on another project but i am not sure where i can find it.

I thought it would be named something like my-release-key.keystore but i cant find it. Sorry if this comes out as a dumb question but i am quite new to this and is a wearied thing to get stuck on.

Edit: I used the Eclipse ADT Wizard and in there i entered the location as follows...

Keystore Location

I am developing on a Mac and a very new mac user. I just dont know where this file has been placed. It i not in the project folder or the "cd /" location.

Thanks

Basically in windows(Checked in Window 7) the release_kestore stores by default in C:\Users\xyz\release_keystore. Then we have to move it to our comfortable place.

OK, I found out the Eclipse ADT on Mac OS X saves keystores by default in Eclipse.app/Contents/Mac OS :-(

When using eclipse wizard you can explicitly set keystore destination folder. But if you didn't do it (in your case), eclipse will save new key in your home directory.

You should manually create it with keytool. This step described in Obtain a suitable private key part of the guide.
