Ant and Manifest

Hello,

I am using ANT 1.7.1 to build a module. It does build the module
successfully creating a manifest.cf file. I thought it will create
manifest.xml file as well but it didn't.

Does anyone know why it will not create the manifest.xml file? Is there any
way to convert the manifest.cf to manifest.xml?

PS: I am newbie to this stuff so please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Is it not rather a file MANIFEST.MF located in META-INF directory?

What are these files?
- manifest.cf
- manifest.xml

I only know the MANIFEST.MF, which is created by <jar>.
file:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#JAR%20Manifest

Re: include path in

Posted by Gregory Boissinot <gr...@gmail.com>.
You must use 

<classpath>
  <path refid="apache.beehive.classpath"/>
</classpath>

or in your case, the shortcut

<classpath refid="apache.beehive.classpath" />

include path in

Posted by "Cole, Derek E" <de...@lmco.com>.
Hello all,

I am interested in passing in a <path> reference to the <classpath> tags
of my <java> call. How can this be done? 

	<!-- Apache Beehive jars-->
	<path id="apache.beehive.classpath">
		<fileset dir="${apache-beehive.lib.netui.dir}">
			<include name="**/*.jar"/>
		</fileset>
		<fileset dir="${apache-beehive.lib.controls.dir}">
			<include name="*.jar"/>
		</fileset>
	</path>

	<echo>CP:${toString:apache.beehive.classpath}</echo>

CP: outputs the correct thing, however, when I then try to use that like

       <classpath>
		<pathelement path="${apache.beehive.classpath}" />
       </classpath>

I get this kind of error message in my log:

dropping /tools/build/antstuff/apache.beehive.classpath from path as it
doesn't exist

what am I doing wrong?
