I;ve seen http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1279419/buildr-package-dependencies-into-a-single-jar/1285293#1285293but I'd prefer a buildr-only solution and it I can't find any good info regarding inserting the Class-Path in the MANIFEST.MF
I have DEPS = [ ARGS4J, JASYPT, WEB, ORIENTDB, '/path/to/local.jar' ] repositories.remote << 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' define 'My Project' do project.version = VERSION_NUMBER project.group = 'myGroup' compile.options.target = '1.7' desc 'Bountius Server' define 'deps' do package(:jar).merge(DEPS) end manifest['Main-Class'] = 'com.myProject.control.Start' desc 'iMyProject Server' define 'server' do compile.with DEPS package(:jar).merge(DEPS) end end The server jar created just throws the kitchen sink in, apparently overwriting the META-ING/MANIFEST.MF with the final artifact MANIFEST.MF rather than using my manifest settings. I'm trying to do what my old ant build.xml does, namely: 1. compile my src code into classes 2. packages them into a jar 3. adds the dependency jars to this jar 4. includes "Main-Class" and "Class-Path" attributes to META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, the latter properly formatted, e.g.: Class-Path: args4j-2.0.18.jar gson-2.2.2.jar jasypt-1.9.0.jar orient-c ommons-1.3.0.jar orientdb-client-1.3.0.jar orientdb-core-1.3.0.jar or ientdb-enterprise-1.3.0.jar orientdb-server-1.3.0.jar prodigitum.util .jar commons-exec-1.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.1.jar guava-14.0.jar ht tpclient-4.2.1.jar httpcore-4.2.1.jar json-20080701.jar selenium-java -2.31.0.jar The resulting jar can be run stand-alone. I'm open to a better or equivalent way in buildr if someone could possibly help Cheers hoogs
