java task: JVM mode cannot be changed while using the jar attribute





------- Additional Comments From umagesh@apache.org  2002-02-02 06:09 -------
I notice a strange comment/piece of code in CommandlineJava.java.  This is the
cause of this problem:

// -jar must be the first option in the command line.
if (executeJar){
    result[pos++] = "-jar";
}

Who ever said -jar must be the first option in the command line??  

This link clearly states the *real* rules...
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/java.html#-jar

It says java [ options ] -jar file.jar [ argument ... ]
             ^^^^^^^^^^^

I will wait for a day or two to hear back, before I apply a patch.
