nice =)
Then I guess there is no need to state this in the documentation or
FAQ.
It is in the documentation of 1.7.
btw: Is this problem not something common? Or can anyone give me some
best practice examples on how to create the manifest classpath
automatically? I´m just curious, ´cause I found nothing while
searching.
google manifest classpath
finds a number entries - including a task from hivemind (manifestclasspath)
and a jguru entry which goes tru the full procedure using ant 1.6.
google manifestclasspath
finds the new ant 1.7 task (manifestclasspath)
