http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25255 <jar> gets manifest wrong so classpath doesnt work for "java -jar my.jar" Summary: <jar> gets manifest wrong so classpath doesnt work for "java -jar my.jar" Product: Ant Version: 1.5.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] this is broken in 1.5.1, 1.5.4 and 1.6beta3 if i use ant's <jar> task to create a manifest (internal or external), then java 1.4.2 (probably others) doesnt allow java -jar my.jar i get this error + java -Xmx512m -jar netcdfAll.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ucar/util/prefs/XMLStore at ucar.nc2.ui.ToolsUI.main(ToolsUI.java:761) but with no other changes this works: + java -Xmx512m -classpath netcdfAll.jar;prefsAll.jar;units.jar;HTTPClient.jar;jdom.jar ucar.nc2.ui.ToolsUI i can use the <exec> command with jdk's jar to get around this, so this works: <exec dir="${build.classes.dir}" executable="jar" output="dir.txt"> <arg line="cfm ${dist.dir}/${jarAll.library} ${root.dir}/manifest.txt *"/> </exec> but this doesnt: <jar jarfile="${dist.dir}/${jarAll.library}" index="true" manifest="${root.dir}/manifest.txt"> <fileset dir="${build.classes.dir}" /> <fileset dir="${build.dir}" includes="README "/> </jar> the only thing i can see different is where the Created-By: line gets placed in the manifest, which seems to be rearranged by <jar> (ive extracted the manifests from the jars): $ cat manifest.bad Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: Apache Ant 1.5.1 Main-Class: ucar.nc2.ui.ToolsUI Class-Path: prefsAll.jar HTTPClient.jar units.jar jdom.jar $ cat manifest.good Manifest-Version: 1.0 Class-Path: prefsAll.jar HTTPClient.jar units.jar jdom.jar Created-By: Apache Ant 1.5.1 Main-Class: ucar.nc2.ui.ToolsUI --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
