Manifest

[Eric Douglas <ed...@blockhouse.com>]

I'm trying to add files to a jar, like it says here:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/fonts.html

FOP will also auto-detect fonts which are available in the classpath, if
they are described as "application/x-font" in the MANIFEST.MF file.

Do I just have to pull my manifest.mf file into my project and copy that
text in for each file to include, or is there a better way to modify the
manifest?
I'd like a gui editor where I can just select files to add and select
file type and let it write this for me to make sure it's right.
I'm using Eclipse to maintain the java programs.

I don't use that feature, so don't count on me to provide something. But
it would be a great and painless way for someone from the user community
to contribute something back to FOP.

If you do that, posting it here would be doing everyone a favour. I've 
used a dirty shell script hack to do it, but something nicer that can be 
distributed without shame would be nice to have - possibly even bundled 
with fop as a utility.

How you create that JAR file with the fonts is up to you. Manually
creating the Manifest and assembling it to a JAR using Ant is probably
easiest. Of course, you could write a GUI for that. It's probably easier
to write a small command-line application in Java that takes a directory
as argument and creates the Manifest and the JAR.
