<jar doesn't translate property strings
Summary: <jar doesn't translate property strings
Product: Ant
Version: 1.6.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: Other
Component: Optional Tasks
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: ddixon@leastsquares.com
Greetings,
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. There are some jarfiles
associated with the application that I want to include on the
classpath in the jarfile manifest. I want to pass these as properties, but
ant doesn't translate the ${...}, but puts it in the manifest
as a literal. Similarly, for ${version} and {$TODAY}. See ant code and
manifest below.
-dd
<target name="createJar" if="prodBuild">
<jar destfile="${prodBuild}/application.jar"
basedir="${prodBuild}"
includes="com/"
excludes="application.jar">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class"
value="com.leastsquares.application.Application"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="${jarfile1} ${jarfile2} ${jarfile3}" />
<attribute name="Specification-Title" value="APPLICATION"/>
<attribute name="Specification-Version" value="${version}"/>
<attribute name="Specification-Vendor" value="Least Squares
Software,Inc."/>
<attribute name="Implementation-Title" value="Application"/>
<attribute name="Implementation-Version" value="${version} ${TODAY}"/>
<attribute name="Implementation-Vendor" value="Least Squares
Software,Inc."/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
The manifest looks like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.1
Created-By: 1.4.0_02-b02 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: com.leastsquares.application.Application
Specification-Title: APPLICATION
Specification-Version: ${version}
Specification-Vendor: Least Squares Software, Inc.
Implementation-Title: Policrash
Implementation-Version: ${version} ${TODAY}
Implementation-Vendor: Least Squares Software,Inc.
Class-Path: ${jarfile1} ${jarfile2} ${jarfile3}
