I am attempting to update two manifest files from existing jar and war. The goal of my ant task is to update their manifest file and jar the parent folder. This is what my task looks like:
<target name="copy-files"> <echo>********************************************************************</echo> <echo>Copying the binaries to configured destination.</echo> <copy todir="${env.deploy.path}-${env.repos.revision}"> <fileset dir="${env.source.path}/Optimizer/deploy"/> </copy> <tstamp/> <jar destfile="${env.repos.username}-${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}-${env.repos.revision}.zip" basedir="${env.deploy.path}-${env.repos.revision}"> <manifest> <attribute name="Built-By" value="${env.repos.username}"/> <attribute name="Built-Date" value="${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}"/> <attribute name="Repository" value="${env.repos.url}"/> <attribute name="Revision" value="${env.repos.revision}"/> </manifest> <manifest file="${env.deploy.path}-${env.repos.revision}/local/comact_Optimizer_main.jar " mode="update"> <attribute name="Built-By" value="${env.repos.username}"/> <attribute name="Built-Date" value="${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}"/> <attribute name="Repository" value="${env.repos.url}"/> <attribute name="Revision" value="${env.repos.revision}"/> </manifest> <!--manifest file="${env.deploy.path}-${env.repos.revision}/web/EdgExpert.war" mode="update"> <attribute name="Built-By" value="${env.repos.username}"/> <attribute name="Built-Date" value="${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}"/> <attribute name="Repository" value="${env.repos.url}"/> <attribute name="Revision" value="${env.repos.revision}"/> </manifest--> </jar> <echo>[DONE]</echo> <echo>********************************************************************</echo> </target> The copy is executed without any problem, right after the copy. The build quits without any error, and manifest aren't updated. If I comment the two last manifest call, everything gets executed without any problem. I tried reading the doc to find "update" samples, but didn't find any. Or maybe the manifest calls aren't done at the right place ? Something important to know is that this script is not the one building the jar and war files. Thanks for your help, Pascal
