I have a jar task that creates a fileset that should have files in it, but
the build is failing with the message,
"E:\Work\tahoe\tools\build.xml:193: Cannot create jar archive
E:\Work\tahoe\dist\20010111\com_lgc_dsClient.jar: no files were included."
Here's the snippet of build.xml:
<target name="jar-client" depends="compile,rmic"
if="manifest.client.present">
<mkdir dir="${dist}/${DSTAMP}" />
<echo file="ClientManifest.txt" />
<jar
jarfile="${dist}/${DSTAMP}/com_lgc_dsClient.jar"
basedir="${classes}"
excludes="**/**"
includesfile="ClientManifest.txt"
whenempty="fail" />
</target>
I am also puzzled about the echo task in this target not working - should
it?
How can I tell what files a fileset is looking for, which one it found,
etc.? I can't tell if it is processing the ClientManifest.txt or not.
If I take out the excludes line above, I do get a jar file, but it has
EVERYTHING in the ${classes} dir, which is not what I want - I just want the
files listed in the ClientManifest.txt.
