TIA. Delete the file attribute, you don't need it. When the manifest task is used as a nested element of the Jar task, the "file" and "mode" attributes must be removed as the location and name of a manifest file in a jar file is fixed and cannot be changed, so you don't need to specify the output location. - Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
