Thanks Larry. I'll check this out and will probably post an inquiry or two
to the Ant mailing list.
I plan on downloading SkyJUMP for a try soon, so I should see the program
launcher first hand.
Thanks,
The Sunburned Surveyor

Hi Sunburned,
You can try the modified Ant Script that I posted. It works for us,
although given the way it works, more bugs are possible. Manifest files
have a very rigid structure that is difficult to maintain. It is necessary
to make all of the included paths relative so that they work no matter where
the user installs OJ.
Regarding the start program, you might want to check out the new SkyJUMP
launcher code (see my earlier announcement on JUMP Discuss). It is based on
Eclipse and gets its start-up parameters from an .ini file.
regards,
Larry
