Rosemarie, The answer to the question is yes. Please post questions about the usage of ant to the Ant User's mailing list only.
If you look at the example build.xml file in the documentation http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/index.html. Navigate to "Using Ant", and you will see the following example. Note that the "compile" and "dist" targets do exactly what you asking about. The example is "postfixed" to this response. <project name="MyProject" default="dist" basedir="."> <!-- set global properties for this build --> <property name="src" value="."/> <property name="build" value="build"/> <property name="dist" value="dist"/> <target name="init"> <!-- Create the time stamp --> <tstamp/> <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile --> <mkdir dir="${build}"/> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init"> <!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} --> <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/> </target> <target name="dist" depends="compile"> <!-- Create the distribution directory --> <mkdir dir="${dist}/lib"/> <!-- Put everything in ${build} into the MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar file --> <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar" basedir="${build}"/> </target> <target name="clean"> <!-- Delete the ${build} and ${dist} directory trees --> <delete dir="${build}"/> <delete dir="${dist}"/> </target> </project> -----Original Message----- From: Rosemarie Hannan (Financial IQ) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 3:45 AM To: dev; Users Subject: Multiple classes to one jar file Hi I would like to know if it possible to compile multiple class files and then package them into one jar file via one build file?
