Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-694:
---------------------------------------

Shame on me.  Didn't actually test release task, for which we still require JDK1.4, while Bundlor requires 1.5.  Here's the options i see:

- Build non-OSGi-ready release for 1.7 and leave people to build their own manifests.

- Bump the target JDK to 1.5 (No, building with 1.5 target 1.4 is not an option due to StringBuffer.append mess)

- "Manually" build an OSGi-ready manifest with the jar tasks manifest sub-task.  This means sticking a massive property like the one above into build.properties.  But that would only be for 1.7.  In 2.0, we'll be back to the Bundlor manifest.

I'm inclined to go with option 3.
