Rob,
I'm not sure if there's any way I can use the manifest element to
obtain the manifest from a jar file, which is why I'm using the
manifest attribute.
The phrase "added through a fileset" is really not clear to me. Here's
an example of a build file that does not work, and uses the very
obvious interpretation:
<project name="Test_Jar" default="jar">
<target name="jar">
<jar destfile="jar1.jar">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.example.MainClass"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
<jar destfile="jar2.jar" manifest="jar1.jar">
<fileset dir="." includes="jar1.jar"/>
</jar>
</target>
</project>
I don't actually have a manifest attribute like that in the real build
file. This is just for illustration purposes.
