I’ve got a jardesc file in one of my projects and I’ve also got a saved manifest file. I’ve instructed the JAR packager to use the saved manifest when creating a JAR file, but the saved manifest isn’t being used.

Here’s my jardesc file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jardesc>
    <jar path="D:/Special/Desktop/DirectoryCleaner.jar" />
    <options buildIfNeeded="true" compress="true"
        descriptionLocation="/Utilities/DirectoryCleaner.jardesc"
        exportErrors="true" exportWarnings="true" overwrite="false"
        saveDescription="true" useSourceFolders="false" />
    <manifest generateManifest="false"
        manifestLocation="/Utilities/DirectoryCleanerManifest"
        manifestVersion="1.0" reuseManifest="false" saveManifest="true"
        usesManifest="true">
        <sealing sealJar="false">
            <packagesToSeal />
            <packagesToUnSeal />
        </sealing>
    </manifest>
    <selectedElements exportClassFiles="true" exportJavaFiles="true">
        <javaElement
            handleIdentifier="=Utilities/<net.hctx.jp.directorycleaner" />
    </selectedElements>
</jardesc>

And here’s the saved manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: net.hctx.jp.directorycleaner.DirectoryCleaner
Class-Path: log4j-1.2.13.jar

And here’s the manifest file that gets included in the JAR file after it’s been created by the JAR Packager:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: net.hctx.jp.directorycleaner.DirectoryCleaner

Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Curt

Nevermind…

This was a really frustrating problem. Turns out that the saved manifest didn’t have a blank line at the end.

Really, really frustrating. There should be some sort of warning, error, something…
