Re: jar MANIFEST.MF

[David . Bailey]

When a jar file needs to contain a manifest with particular content,
we archive a copy of that manifest under source control, and then
use the "manifest" tag in the <jar> task to tell ANT to use that
particular manifest when creating the jar file.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I'am new on this list and have first one
question:

Is there a posibillity to use the ant builtin
"jar" command to say the jar there ist one Main-class
in.

Normal the way is to step following commands in the shell:
 1. create a txt file <maintxt> and put following code inside:
Main-Class: myMainClass
 2. run the jar command like follow: > jar -cmf maintxt app.jar
./application

Now you have an jar that you can use with > java -jar app.jar
and the java runs the application with the main class myMainClass

I don't found a way to say this in build.xml and i will NOT
use the exec command.

Any Ideas?

Thanks and greating
