Can I select classes for one particular task from ant-contrib jar and add those to ant.jar to be able to use that particular task. Aim is not having to add an additional jar to the IDE classpath.I need to just use the try/catch task from ant-contrib.
This might be a silly idea. But any thoughts abt it??

You will need to create an attribute that will contain the timstamp, for instance you can call this attribute "TimeStamp". To get this information from a running java application you would need to use the Manifest class returned from the JarFile class. This is all part of the java.util.jar package. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rebhan, Gilbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 11:21 AM > To: ant_user (E-Mail) > Subject: Versioning / Manifest > > > > Hi, > > Scenario : > > A Client/Server Application is distributed as a bunch of Jar's. > Client and Server have an XML-File that contains the versioninfo for these Jar's. > The Jar's of a new release are transfered to the server, the xml-File is > manually created. > > Question 1 : How to automate the creation of that xml-File ? > > After starting the client, the client-xml is compared to the server-xml. > The new Jar's are then transfered to the client. > > Question 2 : Is there a chance to transfer only the altered/newer class-Files > instead of the whole Jar as bandwidth is limited ? > > I guess there's a way via the Manifest.
