Just tried, but it doesn't work completely. The
resulting manifest is compilant but some dependencies
in class-path are missing.

I think this will be the final solution...

Thanks. The last question: I saw on
http://www.dpml.net/api/ant/1.6.4/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Manifest.html
that the Ant class Manifest has a merge method that
should be perfect for my problem (starting with an
empty manifest and sequentially merge the others). But
this class seems not to be exposed in XML Ant's tasks.
Where can I find a tutorial on how to create new XML
tasks exposing existing Ant classes?

Thank you once again
Jo
