Must have missed the answers to Gavin's actual questions... The doc says you
simply have to use the <metainf> sub-element of <jar>. The doc isn't clear
on the other hand whether the files end up in META-INF directly (are
flattened in META-INF basically), or if the relative path to the <fileset>'s
dir is preserved. Would have to experiment (another time) to answer that
one...
I personally just copy or generate the files I want in a directory called
META-INF in the classes/ dir (where classes are generated), and simply
includes these files for JARing. This has the added advantage that these
files can be found as resources whether I run my app off the classes/ dir or
the JAR (composed of the classes in classes/).
<!-- generate metainfo file from JAR-->
<mkdir dir="${classes}/META-INF" />
<copy file="${metainfo}"
tofile="${classes}/META-INF/MetaInfo.xml" />
<jar jarfile="${jarfile}"
update="true"
basedir="${classes}"
includes="META-INF/MetaInfo.xml"
manifest="${manifestfile}" />

Subject: How do I Put a file into a Jar's META-INF directory?
Hello All,
I am looking for a way to put a file that I have into a newly created
Jar's META-INF directory. Is there a way using the "JAR" task that I
can specify a file to put into META-INF?
The goal is the build the JAR stuffed with the files I want into
META-INF.
Thanks a million....
P.S.
I notice there are undocumented tags etc with the JAR task... any other
goodies
would be apprecitaed. (i.e. <manifest> etc...)
