Manifest file with ant

[pradeep selvaraj]

I am creating a jar file for my application through ant. At the moment i just have something like the code shown below; where i can have only have one jar file in the class path.

  
<jar jarfile="${dist}/${jar.file}" basedir="${basedir}/tmp">
  <manifest>
    <attribute name="Main-Class" value="cyvis.core.cyvis" />
    <attribute name="Class-path" value="${lib}/asm.jar" />
  </manifest>
</jar>

How do i make the Class-Path attribute in the manifest to point to more than one jar file.

Thanks

just put a space between multiple entries

<jar jarfile="${dist}/${jar.file}" basedir="${basedir}/tmp">
  <manifest>
    <attribute name="Main-Class" value="cyvis.core.cyvis" />
    <attribute name="Class-path" value="${lib}/asm.jar more.jar three.jar" />
  </manifest>
</jar>

If you would like to automatically generate the classpath enties based on ANT rules, check the way the 'package' target generates the 'Class-Path' in the sample file here.

It makes life a bit easier.
