Hi everybody, this is my first e-mail do this list. Recently I had to create a jar file with a classpath in the manifest file. The classpath of my project was defined as a nested element but the manifest task only accept it as a value in the attribute element. I had to use a manifestclasspath task to convert the classpath to a property and then use its value.
I believe changing the manifest task to accept a classpathref as a parameter or a nested element would be a great change that would increase the readability of the build and reduce the amount of code necessary to do a simple (and usual) task. I don´t know if this change is already in the plans of the ant team, but if not I would like to do it. However I´ve never worked in a open source project, so any help (best practices, code reviews, ...) would be great. Cheers, Pedro
