build, and runtime dependencies, manifest file, loading problem.

[Andre Augusto Cesta <ac...@clear.co.nz>]

I am having a problem with dependencies, manifest files, and class loading.

Assume you have 3 dependencies on the project.xml file <dependencies> node.

These 3 dependencies will be used to BUILD your code.

When your code is packaged, the manifest.mf file the jar package will 
list these
3 dependencies (I put one of them as an example below:)

ant-optional-Extension-Name: ant-optional
ant-optional-Implementation-Version: 1.5.2
ant-optional-Implementation-URL: 
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/ant/jars/ant-optional-1.5.2.jar
....

When starting the application, the JVM complains about the dependencies 
on the manifest.mf
not being there.  But they are not required to RUN the application, just 
to BUILD it.

I've attached the project.xml file and the manifest.mf.
