Xavier Hanin reassigned IVY-567:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Xavier Hanin
> Update MANIFEST to make Ivy runnable with java -jar
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IVY-567
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-567
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-1
> Environment: Development
> Reporter: Tjeerd Verhagen
> Assignee: Xavier Hanin
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 2.0
>
> Attachments: patch_build.xml_add_main_and_path_20070708.txt,
> patch_build.xml_correction_in_jar_readme.txt
>
>
> Update the MANIFEST.MF, in which the (main) key 'Class-Path' can be
> specified. The value of this key should hold the path's to the other requered
> jars. For Ivy this means, it should reference to the 'commons-cli.jar' (and
> maybe other / extra jars in the future).
> To make the jar runnable the key 'Main-Class' is needed, which makes it
> possible to just 'run the jar', as:
> java -jar ivy-core.jar
> No additional path to the class 'org.apache.ivy.Main' is needed any more.
> WARNING: Check this patch 'patch_build.xml_add_main_and_path_20070708.txt'
> the key 'Class-Path' does (only) work if the created artifact is in it's
> build/articaft directory! I didn't check how ivy-core.jar is normally
> distributed (where it's dependencies lib is). Probalbly there should be a
> small change of the referenced path here.
> To read more about these keys, see paragraph 'Main Attributes':
