Hi Stefan,
You can do the same thing with Antenna but it requires a little trickery to
make sure that the jar-size attribute gets set properly in the jad-file.
With Antenna, the package task will create the jar file but requires that
the jad file already exists before it is run. You must therefore:
create the jad file
create the jar file
update the jad file to include the size of the jar file info
Antic, creates both files simultaneously and will create all the correct
entries as they are created. As both files are created by the same task,
the build file is simpler to read.
Antenna does include functionality beyond this such as obfuscation and
library optimization which is very nice - so I still use it for this.
However, most of the other tasks in the existing J2ME task sets do quite
mundane stuff that can be simply performed with existing Ant tasks, so I
saw no need to implement anything else in my own tasks.
Another feature in Antic deals with the fact that some of the Nokia
emulators have non-standard entries required in the jad file. Antic creates
these by default to ensure that these emulators will work. This is an
undocumented feature currently, as it looks like the new generation
emulators from Nokia are better implemented and don't require these
non-standard entries - I'll probably remove this a bit further down the line.
Regards - Steve.

Just out of curiosity, what has been wrong with one of the three
existing sets of tasks?
I've added the pointer, it should appear on the site within the next
few hours.
