Hi, At runtime my program is stored like this:
./myprogram.jar ./lib/commons/commons-net.jar ./lib/commons/commons-configuration.jar ./lib/spring/spring_jar1.jar ./lib/spring/spring_jar2.jar ./lib/some/other/jarfile.jar There is a ton of other .jar files too organized in the directory tree below ./lib/ and there is so many of them that I can't just put all of them directly in the lib directory. --- I already have an ANT target that creates myprogram.jar but I also need it to create a manifest with a proper Class-Path pointing to ./lib/commons/commons-net.jar etc etc I managed to implement this using _absolute_ paths in the manifest but so far I have not been able to get the paths to be _relative_. I've looked at pathconvert and a bunch of mappers with no success. I'm using ANT 1.6.5 right now. Ideally, I would like to accomplish this without any custom ANT tasks because my program is built by a lot of people and I do not want to force all of them to fiddle with the extra ant task installation procedure. Below is my ANT target so far: <!-- ==================================================================== --> <!-- Compress to .JAR --> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <target name="dist" depends="compile"> <mkdir dir="${build.dist.dir}/lib"/> <copy todir="${build.dist.dir}/lib"> <fileset dir="${lib.runtime.dir}" includes="**/*.jar"/> </copy> <path id="manifest.classpath.path"> <fileset dir="${build.dist.dir}" includes="lib/**/*.jar"/> </path> <pathconvert property="manifest.classpath.prop" pathsep=" "> <path refid="manifest.classpath.path"/> </pathconvert> <jar destfile="${build.dist.dir}/${dist.jar.filename}"> <fileset dir="${build.classes.dir}" includes="**/*.class"/> <manifest> <attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}"/> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${project.main.class}"/> <attribute name="Class-Path" value="${manifest.classpath.prop}"/> </manifest> </jar> </target> regards, martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
