Copy arbitrary files into jar (generation)
Hello,
i am quite new to ant and would like to modify a generated ant file from
eclipse in that way that certain files are copied into the created jar. Here
is what I tried
<target name="create_run_jar">
<jar destfile="/dv/ws/my.jar" filesetmanifest="mergewithoutmain">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="ec.main"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="."/>
</manifest>
<fileset dir="/dv/ws/bin"/>
The previous part is generated ... now I try to copy a source folder into
the jar ...
<fileset dir="/dv/ws/javasources">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
Unfortunately this fails (no folder "javasources" is created in the
resulting jar).
Any hints would be great! :)
Greetings,
lobequadrat

Hm, I'd like to have a single file (to distribute). Is this not directly
possible?

lobesquare,
why the sources files in the jar
why don't you try to do a zip ou tar.gz file with the sources files and
the jar ?
it could be easier...

Or, given that http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/jar.html states
"The extended fileset and groupfileset child elements from the zip
task are also available in the jar task",
<zipfileset dir="${basedir}/dv/ws/javasources" includes="**/*.java"
prefix="srcfiles"/>
could work too, and allows for using a different directory name for
those files in the zip.

I see two problems here.
1. A path that begins with a "/" is an absolute path. I can't tell if
this is what you want, but I suspect you actually want a path relative
to the project directory.
2. What this fileset specifies is "all Java files in directory /dv/ws/
javasources/". It doesn't say anything about creating a "javasources"
directory in the jar.
You probably want something like this:
<fileset dir="${basedir}/dv/ws">
<include name="javasources"/>
</fileset>
