Name attribute in Manifest file

["H, Sugumaran (CORP, GEITC)" <Su...@geind.ge.com>]

I am in the process of converting our Build scripts form .bat files to Ant
scripts. While invoking the jar command from dos prompt and including out
own Manifest file without Name attribute, we are not getting any errors, but
while I am using the built-in ant task Jar to make the jar files and while I
am supplying our own jar files that doesn't contain the Name attribute, its
complaining that wrong Manifest file. Any info. on how to use a Manifest
file without Name attribute? or any info on what kind of mistake I am doing?

Thanks,
Sugu

You really need to provide more detailed information if you want us to help 
you. Information such as

1. How are you using the <jar> task? A build file snippet would help.

2. What is the exact error message you are getting?

3. What does the manifest file look like?
