How to get the current time?

[Guofeng Zhang <gu...@visionnex.com>]

I want to store the current time in jar's MANIFEST.MF. but I can not know how to get it in the ant.

The following is what I know, but it won't work. It always display '{touch.time}', not the date.

  <tstamp prefix="start">
      <format property="touch.time" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" />
  </tstamp>

<echo message="{touch.time}" />

Hi,
you put prefix to tstamp so this echo task should be:

<echo message="${start.touch.time}" />

rgds, Markku
