Thanks Jan for your different reply. Just a final clarification on this.
In the binary distribution, I am seeing ant-icontract.jar being bundled. This means that it is getting built by Open source. We are trying to build ant from scratch on HP_UX so that we build the product exactly equivalent to what is being distribution via "binary distribution". That is the reason why I am asking for icontract.jar :-( Sorry about multiple replies.

As I understand, when we run the >build.xml , this jar is taken as input & generates "ant-icontract.jar". >Our build is failing stating that "icontract.jar" is not available. This jar is generated if the required library (icontract.jar) is available. If not available there are two options: 1) build an empty jar (only manifest file) 2) dont build a jar By default the second option is done [1]. But you could overwrite that by setting the property 'optional.jars.whenmanifestonly' (default=skip) to 'create' [2]. >There are some people who uses the final "ant-icontract.jar". >So though this may be an optional feature, it is necessary. Usually they dont. Ant loads all jars present in the lib-directory and doesnt check if a special file is missing. >It would be great if someone could share a copy of icontract.jar and >not ant-icontract.jar. Problem of delivering software without copyrights ....
