You might want to try genjar. I just finished hooking it into my build.xml file and it *does* work as advertised. I'm impressed :-) ken -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:

off-topic: magic jar linker?

Does anyone know of a jar creator that magically figures out class dependencies and puts them in the final jar file only as needed? I'm specifically looking for a replacement for VisualAge's export feature. You can select a class to export, then choose to export .class files, then tell it to f

auto dependency generation?

Is there a simple way to generate a dependency file for inclusion into build.xml? I have several .java files in a com.blah.blah package (in a directory). One of the files is an Interface that one of the other files uses. Ant chose to compile the non-Interface file first, so it can't get the .c

Can't run Ant from 4NT on Win32

I'm not sure if any of you folks use 4NT (from the 4DOS folks), but if you do, Ant runs really strangely. It refuses to see any command line parameters; e.g., "ant -help" doesn't work. It also won't see the default project target in the build.xml file if you run "ant". It tries to build a targ
